Nathaniel C. "Nate" Fick (born 1977) is a former United States Marine Corps officer and the CEO of Endgame, Inc., a provider of offensive and defensive vulnerability research. He came to public notice for his writing on military life and the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Fick is the author of ''One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer'', a memoir of his military experience published in 2005. ==Early life and education== Fick was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1977, and attended Loyola Blakefield high school in Towson, Maryland. He graduated with degrees in classics and government from Dartmouth College in 1999. While at Dartmouth, Fick captained the cycling team to a U.S. National Championship and wrote a senior thesis on Thucydides' ''History of the Peloponnesian War'' and its implications for American foreign policy. His grandfather served in the United States Navy during World War II under Admiral Chester W. Nimitz. During the war, his grandfather's ship, the Natoma Bay, was hit on its flight deck by a Japanese kamikaze, peppering his grandfather with shrapnel. With some of the metal picked from his skin he melted them down and had them cast into a lucky horseshoe, which Fick wore around his neck during his time in Iraq and Afghanistan.
