THE AMERICAN DREAM |
Retired Army Green Beret Nate Boyer is the man who first convinced Colin Kaepernick to kneel during the national anthem. He believes it’s time to move beyond divisions and find a radical middle.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH
NATE BOYER Nate Boyer is what many would deem a renaissance man. The former active-duty Green Beret, who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, is also a world traveler, a philanthropist and community leader, and a professional athlete as a former member of the Seattle Seahawks. In addition to his military and football careers, Boyer has embarked on a wealth of colorful adventures and life-changing experiences: he has backpacked solo throughout much of Europe and Central America, worked for a year on a fishing boat in San Diego, gone fly fishing in Kamchatka in Russia, worked as a big brother and mentor for children diagnosed with autism, and volunteered at refugee camps in the Darfur region of Sudan/Chad border. Recently he climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro with a wounded veteran to raise money for clean water wells in Tanzania.
