Nate Reens has 20 years of experience as a reporter and editor working in Michigan and Georgia. He has covered the bloodsports of politics and government - fitting for finding fun in the Capital City - tracked the actions of police and court systems and led reporting teams. A Michigan State fan since birth, Nate watches too many Spartan games each year and once pulled muscles in his back when Korie Lucious hit the game-winning three-pointer against Maryland in the 2010 NCAA Tournament. Nate plans to thoroughly research the Makers and Shakers Trail.
