Summary
I am a passionate and experienced technical content creator, product marketer, and trainer who builds solutions using Microsoft 365 (M365) apps and services, such as SharePoint, Teams, Power Automate, Power Apps, and Power BI. I help organizations and individuals get the most out of M365 by providing guidance on administration, governance, and adoption.
I have a diverse IT background in business analysis and systems administration across various industries. I have written seven books on M365 topics, including guides for M365 certification exams. I also share my insights and tips on my blog, NateChamberlain.com, which has over 300 posts and more than 2 million views. I love to share my knowledge and experience, and learn from users who face various challenges in their digital workplaces, by speaking at user groups and conferences.
I hold several certifications in M365 and related areas, such as M365 Enterprise Administrator Expert, Microsoft Power Platform App Maker Associate, Microsoft Teams Administrator Associate, Azure Fundamentals, and two technical trainer certifications (MCT and CTT+).
I am driven by curiosity, learning, and community. I love to explore new technologies and share them with others. I also volunteer as a Docent at Kansas City Zoo, where I educate visitors about our amazing animals, their habitats, and conservation.
