Nathan Field was born at Wilmington General Hospital. He graduated from St. Ann’s Parish school and St. Elizabeth High School.

As a teenager, he spent his free time playing basketball at Stapler Park and earned spending money working as a “runner” for a law-firm downtown and cleaning rugs on Union Street. 

  

After studying at the University of Delaware and Georgetown University with a heavy focus on Arabic language studies, Field had a ten-year career in international business focused in the Middle East.

That included serving on the management team of a $1 billion UN-sponsored environmental remediation project in Saudi Arabia and creating and then selling a successful Arabic translation company. While living in Egypt, he volunteered as an English teacher at a school for refugees.
 

In 2017, Field moved back home to Wilmington to work for a family-owned infrastructure construction business on the City’s East Side. His "day job" responsibilities include workforce development and safety management. 

Since 2021, Field has been blessed with the opportunity to serve the residents of Wilmington as the 8th District City Council representative.  

At the city wide level, he is a member of the key Public Works and Transportation, Finance and Economic Development and Community Development Committees.  

As part of his commitment to making Wilmington a great place to live, he has played a lead role in a series of neighborhood improvement and beautification projects. One of his favorites was an effort to illuminate the iconic 124 year old Rockford Tower at night during the winter months. Click below to view NBC 10 coverage:

Equally important, ultra-responsive constituent services is core to of Field's approach to serving on City Council. He believes the City’s job is to provide value and incentives for living in Wilmington and seeks to provide “white glove” customer service and do whatever he can to get a problem resolved.

Field is involved in a number of local organizations. In 2018 he co-founded the Wilmington History Society to promote more interest in the city's fascinating history.  He volunteers to help run the Memorial Day Parade, serves on the board of the Delaware Center for Horticulture and has been a volunteer mentor at the local prison with a focus on teaching career skills to soon to be released prisoners.
