Meet the Team

Nate grew up in the Twin Cities and became an EMT during his senior year of high school. After high school he went on to become a Paramedic and work 911 ALS (Advanced Life Support) ambulance first in rural MN and later in the metro for a large trauma center. In 2010, after 15 years of active service in EMS he retired from active duty and retired his license in 2016 after 21 years.

It was during the years of active Paramedic duty Nate began to see a need in the metro for services that go beyond the traditional scope of public safety personnel. Once the emergency needs are full-filled, family and friends of the victims are left to take care of the often times horrific scene left behind. His goal with Scene Clean is simple; take the services provided by emergency personal and extend the care and professionalism into the cleanup of the scene and mental support for the families during the cleanup.

Currently, Nate is one of only a handful of certified Bio Recovery Technicians in the state and Scene Clean is the states first certified ABRA firm. ABRA is a world wide non-profit dedicated to upholding companies and technicians to the highest educational and ethical standards in the industry. Only technicians and companies who meet the independent associations high standards are allowed to be certified.

Nate served on the board of directors for The Hoarding Project, a non-profit organization based in Tacoma, Washington. The Hoarding Project’s goal is to enhance awareness regarding the issues of hoarding and the concerns with helping those who suffer from it. As a published expert in the area of hoarding Nate and the crew at Scene Clean lead the way when it comes to hoarding clean out professionals in Minnesota.

Nate is also the broker/owner of New Leaf Realty and a licensed MN owner/general contractor of Twin Cities Restoration, LLC #BC736960.  As both a real estate broker and a general contractor Nate is very knowledgeable with anything regarding housing from sales, valuations to repairs and restoration. This knowledge and experience has helped hundreds of Scene Clean clients be able to navigate the other issues that may come up such as estate sales and re-construction of homes after the remediation process.

Jen has been a small business owner and has run the most profitable dept for one of the largest companies in Minnesota. She has excellent customer relationship skills and this made her the perfect fit to help Scene Clean reach out the the community we serve.

Jen’s primary function at Scene Clean is to focus on the community through outreach services. Some would say she is the face of the company as part of her job function.

Owen came to Scene Clean from a background in the fire and water side of the industry. Owen is often one of the first voices you will hear when you call for service. His desire to help be the calm in an often chaotic worksite is a comfort to our clients in their time of need. 

Chase is our resident strong man which we figure is around 2.76 mules worth of strength. His fearlessness in any situation is a valuable asset to the team.  

Prior to coming to Scene Clean, Ryan was working within the restoration industry performing content restoration.
