One Amazing Story: Nathan Diaz
This month's One Amazing Story features East student entrepreneur Nathan Diaz. Nathan is a senior who has been a part of numerous business courses including Incubator here at Leyden. While working as the driver of a zamboni at a local ice rink, he discovered the concession stand was for sale - and used the money he had in savings to buy it! With a partner, Nathan now owns and operates his own small business, and leverages Leyden's work-study program so that he can attend to his new responsibilities.
