Hangar 8 Leadership
Nate Fairbanks, President
Nate started his career in the supplement manufacturing industry working in his dad’s co-packing facility bottling essential oils for Doterra at the ripe old age of 12. He has worked at several manufacturing facilities and has done almost every job imaginable: production line worker, shipping & receiving coordinator, inventory specialist, production planning coordinator, purchaser, forecasting, invoicing, data analyst, customer care & communications, quality assurance specialist and custom formulation. The one that drives his passion is formulation: he loves to create innovative, nutritious and delicious formulas that fly off the shelves. He has formulated protein drinks, pre-workout drinks, hydration drinks, flavored creatine drinks, an all-natural testosterone boosting supplement and even a delicious lemonade that makes your hair shine and skin glow.
