SFC Nathan Weber

2-Man & 4-Man Bobsled

An excellent athlete who competed at the national level in high school wrestling and soccer, Nate is the rare Soldier-athlete who came into his sport well into an Army career. He picked up a magazine during Special Forces training, and read an article about WCAP Olympian bobsledder Justin Olsen. "I thought, if this guy can win an Olympic gold medal, I can at least make the Olympic team," Nate says. 

He had been in the Army seven years when he took up bobsledding. For a few years more, he trained before and after work to get up to speed, taking leave to compete in races across North America. Persistence brought success, including a 4th place finish in the 2013 National Push Championships. Since then, he has racked up awards as a push athlete and brakeman, including 4-Man Bobsled World Cup 2nd and 6th Place finishes in 2017 and 2018 - and a slot at the 2018 Winter Olympics, alongside the teammate who inspired him years ago, Justin Olsen.
