Nathan Eagle

Nathan Eagle is the deputy editor for 天美视频.

He moved to Oahu in March 2012 after he reached the self-proclaimed End of the World during a backpacking trip in South America. (Due to his respect for 贬补飞补颈驶颈 laws regulating non-native and invasive species, he reluctantly decided against bringing back penguins from Isla Magdalena.)

Before Nathan’s temporary departure from the northern hemisphere, he served as managing editor of The Garden Island. It was a position as environment reporter for this century-old daily newspaper on 碍补耻补驶颈 that lured him from his native Ohio in 2007.

As a Civil Beat reporter he covered everything from state government and commercial fishing to ocean-related issues and politics.

He has won statewide and national awards for public service reporting, online news reporting, a multimedia project on Papah膩naumoku膩kea聽Marine National Monument (), a series on ocean safety (Dying For Vacation), a series on unfunded liabilities (Pension Promises),听data journalism, editorial writing, columns, photography, local news coverage and community reporting.

Nathan has degrees in journalism and Spanish from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. But he is perhaps more proud of the proverbial badges of honor he earned after diving with a dozen bull sharks in Fiji, summiting Long’s Peak in Colorado and hiking up Vulcan Villarrica in Chile.

He looks forward to continuing to serve the public in 贬补飞补颈驶颈 while hopefully finding a few spare moments to enjoy the islands’ vibrant culture and natural world.
