G'day, legend!
Ever wonder 'bout the bloke behind Geek In Da Kitchen? Well, grab a cuppa (not a frothy), 'cause we're about to spin you a yarn about Nathan, the ultimate kitchen whiz with a serious tech addiction!
Years ago, before Geek In Da Kitchen was slingin' its awesome wares, it was known as Kitchen Geek Au. Our main man, Nathan, was in the thick of it, rattlin' pots and pans like a true blue master chef. But get this – he wasn't just cookin' up a storm; he was also dubbed the "Kitchen Geek" by none other than Kitchen Therapist Jo Richardson, a bonza former ambassador for Kitchen Aid Australia.
Turns out, Nathan loved bein' in the kitchen more than a kookaburra loves a laugh, and he was also a fair dinkum "Geek In Da Kitchen." See what he did there? A true wordsmith, that Nathan! He took that playful jab and built a brand around it. How good is that?!
Back in the early days, when the brand was just a little nipper, Nathan was a familiar face 'round the Melbourne CBD. He wasn't holed up in some fancy office, nah! Our Nathan was cruisin' between Breakfree Bell City and the Great Southern Hotel, catchin' up with clients and spinnin' his magic. And get this – his main mob? Street performers! Talk about a fair dinkum character!
He was right in the thick of it with the buskers and street artists, makin' mates left, right, and centre. Those relationships he brewed up back then? Still goin' strong, mate, like a good strong brew!
Nathan's always been a believer in doin' things properly – quality over quantity, that's his motto. He's an old-school fella at heart, the kind who still believes in pen and paper.
Even with a fancy Remarkable 2 paper tablet these days, you'll still catch him with his trusty Lamy Fountain Pen and a good old-fashioned diary. He'll swear black and blue he's organised, and his daily ritual proves it: that favourite fountain pen tucked neatly into his Filofax planner (a big shout-out to Ash and Milligram MC for that gem!).
Nathan's all about promotin' and marketin', and makin' sure everyone gets a fair crack at gettin' things done the right way. And you know what? That's not a bad thing at all, you bloody ripper!
So, there you have it – the lowdown on Nathan, the Geek In Da Kitchen himself. What do you reckon, is he a true Aussie legend or what?
Right then, buckle up, 'cause Nathan, the legendary bloke behind Geek In Da Kitchen, hasn't just been twiddling his thumbs – he's been rubbing shoulders with some fair dinkum rippers in the client department!
Over the years, our Nathan's had the good fortune to team up with a bunch of top-notch outfits. And let me tell ya, it's always been an absolute pearler of an experience! We're talkin' about working with the likes of:
Lousy With Mines – Don't let the name fool ya, this bloke is anything but lousy! Probably just a clever way to keep us on our toes, eh?
HoneyBoy Des – Sounds like a sweet deal, this one! We're picturing something buzzin' with creativity.
Frocreations Bendigo – Bet they're cookin' up some seriously cool stuff over in Bendigo! Nathan's always been one to appreciate a bit of local flair.
Birds R Us - Bendigo – Now, are they selling feathered friends or just really into ornithology? Either way, sounds like a hoot!
And that's just a squiz at some of the legends Nathan's had the pleasure of collaborating with. Each one's been a beauty, and Nathan reckons it's always a deadset excellent experience to get stuck in with these amazing clients. What a champion, eh?
Ever wondered how Nathan, the legend behind Geek In Da Kitchen, got his hands dirty in the working world before becoming the guru he is today? Well, let me tell ya, he's had a fair dinkum crack at a few different gigs!
Our Nathan's not one to shy away from a bit of hard yakka. He's dipped his toes in a few different ponds, and while we've only got a sneak peek here, you can bet your bottom dollar there's a good yarn behind each one!
Red Door Digital - Privately Employed: Now, what exactly went on behind those "Red Doors," eh? Was he a digital wizard, conjuring up websites and online magic for a mystery boss? Or perhaps he was just making sure the kettle was always boiled for smoko. Whatever it was, he was clocking in and earning his keep, probably with a cuppa in one hand and a brilliant idea in the other!
Hashing Social Media - Self Employed: Ah, the classic solo artist! Nathan was out there, on his lonesome, probably wrangling hashtags like a pro rodeo cowboy. We're picturing him taming wild algorithms and making social media sing and dance. Bet he had a few late nights, fueled by Vegemite toast and the sheer thrill of getting those likes!
Adventure Vending - Self Employed: This one sounds like a real beauty! "Adventure Vending"? Was he trekking through the Outback, setting up snack machines for thirsty bushwalkers? Or perhaps he was just making sure the office biscuit tin was always topped up. Whatever the adventure, he was his own boss, probably whistling a happy tune while restocking the chocolate bars.
If your curiosity's piqued, and you're keen to dig deeper into Nathan's earlier escapades, apparently, "More details can be found under old projects." Sounds like there are a few more corkers hidden away, just waiting for a good stickybeak! What a fair dinkum character, our Nathan!
Crikey, you'd think Nathan, the head honcho at Geek In Da Kitchen, was born with a spanner in one hand and a mixing spoon in the other, but nah, he's actually got a fair few brainy bits tucked under his Akubra! He's not just a whiz in the kitchen; he's been hittin' the books, learnin' all sorts of snazzy stuff.
Here's a squiz at Nathan's academic adventures – turns out he's been to more classes than a boomerang comes back!
Pro Tools 101: This is where Nathan probably learned the absolute basics of makin' things sound bonza. Before this, he was probably just bangin' pots and pans, hopin' for the best. Now, he's got the know-how!
Certificate III in Media: This is where he probably learned to tell a cracking yarn, whether it's through a camera lens or spinnin' a good story about why his pavlova always turns out perfect. Bet he aced the "how to make a ripper ad for your mum's sausage rolls" unit.
Certificate IV - Music Industry Sound Production: Hold the phone! Our Nathan wasn't just keen on media; he wanted to make sure everything sounded sweet as a nut. He probably learned how to make a didgeridoo solo sound like it was recorded in a stadium, or how to get the perfect "sizzle" sound for a snag on the barbie.
Pro Tools 110 - Operator: So, he went from "101" to "110"? This means he wasn't just fiddlin' about anymore; he was a full-blown operator, probably wrangling soundboards bigger than a Holden ute. No wonder his presentations sound so grouse!
Certificate II - Digital and Interactive Media: This is where he got all savvy with the interwebs and making things do stuff when you click 'em. Probably learned how to make a website jump up and say "G'day!" or create an online game where you herd virtual kangaroos.
Advanced Diploma Business Management and Admin: And just when you thought he was all about the creative stuff, BAM! Nathan hits you with the advanced diploma in business. This means he's not just a creative genius; he knows how to count the beans, keep the books shipshape, and make sure Geek In Da Kitchen is runnin' smoother than a perfectly poured schooner. Probably learned how to administrate his way out of a bind quicker than a snake can shed its skin.
So, there you have it! Nathan's not just a top bloke; he's got the certificates to prove he's a certified clever clogs. No wonder he's a true blue legend in the world of kitchens and all things geeky!
