Nathan Feller

Nathan Feller, Senior Executive Editor

Finally a senior at Powell High School, Nathan Feller has been hit hard by the realization that his almost carefree days are coming to a rapid end. Although, he’s still very excited to start packing for the future.

To occupy himself throughout the year, he participates in a variety of activities ranging from athletics to the visual and performing arts. Nathan especially enjoys photography and football; however, he still can’t decide if being on the field or capturing the perfect action shot is better.

Nathan also loves to write (obviously) and would love nothing more than to be able to further his journalistic career after graduation.

“A lot of people think Nathan’s scary or intimidating,” Gabby Paterson said. “But I don’t. I’ll throw hands with him any day.”
