First off, he won "Best Overall Poster Award at the IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium" (I copied that from the article about it-so I didn't just have to say "he won best poster at a conference he went to in May").

He also received a patent on the "sprinkler project" (I call it) that he worked on as an undergraduate at Utah State. Here's what the article calls it: patent for “Methods and Systems for Wireless Communication by Magnetic Induction.”

He also won best paper at the conference he went to in October (no article to quote from-yet.)
And he recently won an award from the school for excellence in research. He gets to have his name on a plaque in one of the buildings at school.
Most of all he is a wonderful husband and Dad, and takes good care of his girls.
I love you Nate!!!!
