He was awarded the Texas APCO President's and National NENA Presidential awards in 2018. Nathan was recognized as one of the 50 "Most Influential People in 9-1-1" by the National Emergency Number Association, and the work of the foundation was honored by five national public safety organizations and the Congressional E9-1-1 Caucus as a testament to his determination to be a positive force for change. Over the last 10+ years, he has traveled to 47 states sharing Denise's story.
