Fulcrum's Fireside Chat with Nathan Dunlap
(1 of 2)
Fulcrum's Fireside Chat feat. Nathan Dunlap
Who would have thought that one of the developers for Xbox lives in our very own city?
Nathan Dunlap has been a designer and developer at Microsoft for over fourteen years. Even with the myriad of successes he has collected throughout his professional career, Nathan often talks about his wife and five kids being his greatest pride and joy.
Come hear about his experience in being a key player in the development of Xbox, the greatest lessons he’s learned so far in life and also why he came back to Yakima.
In an effort to begin transforming our community, join us to hear Joe's story and engage in creating collaborative relationships.
After all, what's better than hanging out with like-minded people, sharing a drink and hearing the story of one of the most inspiring and successful people in Yakima?
We believe some of the greatest innovations of our time are trapped in the minds of people like you and it’s time to release and help them flourish for the good of this city!
That's exactly what we're going to be doing at Fulcrum's very FIRST Fireside chat on December 12.
See you there!
