Nathan Battams is a student of the Professional Writing program at Algonquin College and a graduate of Carleton University (B.A. with High Honours, Political Science and History).

There, he finds solace by writing, reading about space and recording strange, inaccessible music. He loves science, loathes jockdom, and feels utterly indifferent toward horse racing.
