Nat Gorham is a licensed architect and PMP©-certified project manager with over 18 years managing urban infrastructure projects.
My Background
My name is Nat Gorham and I am running for Shorewood City Council. My family moved to Shorewood in 2016 for its amazing schools, small town feel, and picturesque lake setting. Since 2017 I have served on the Park & Planning Commissions and City Council and hope to continue to serve this great community as its representative for the next four years. In my various roles serving the city, my career in design and construction has played a valuable role in providing an independent perspective on Public Works projects, capital improvement plans, budgets and contracts.
