Admin Nate Stovall is an avid wilderness hiker, Aurora Chaser, and photographer. He was the first Admin recruited to join Melissa F. Kaelin on her leadership team, and he led the community to grow by leaps and bounds in its first year. Nate is the creator of the #LiveChase, the event that made the Michigan Aurora Chasers famous. Held on active nights, the Live Chase invites anyone out to join a guided Aurora Chase in Michigan, where our guides lead people right to the Northern Lights.
In the summer of 2025, Nate followed his dream of moving to Alaska! He moved to true north, where he can work and lead wildlife photography and Aurora Chasing tours during peak season. You can follow his adventures on Facebook and Instagram, as he launches North Star Adventures!

Show your support! Our Admin Team gives generously of their time, resources and knowledge to help everyone catch the Northern Lights. Even a simple gesture to “buy us a coffee” goes a long way, using our tip jar websites. Most of this goes back into the group.
