🚨Employee Spotlight: Nate Skelton,
Instructor Coordinator

Nate retired as a Battalion Chief after 28 years of fire service in Carlsbad, New Mexico, and has been a Paramedic for 25 years. From the start, Nate believed that if he was going to do something, he was going to learn it well enough to teach it — and that dedication has guided his entire career.

With nearly 30 years of experience teaching rope rescue, confined space, cave rescue, swift water, extrication, wildland firefighting, and all levels of EMS and ICS, Nate has shared his expertise with countless students and professionals.

And Nate’s personal motto says it all:

“If you do good things with good people, you’ll have a great life.”

We’re proud to have Nate as part of the RNR Rescue team — a true leader, mentor, and example of lifelong dedication to rescue and safety. 💪
