Most of his younger life was spent out in the country near Vernon, Texas. In 1990, he escaped to Oklahoma City to attend Oklahoma Christian University, where he earned a degree in Advertising Design. While there, he performed an internship at an advertising agency. That agency hired him and Nathan did creative work for them until 1999, when he was invited to move to Austin by, and work in the same agency as, his then friend Tammy. Manlove worked in Austin for a year, and then moved to San Antonio to work manage Sprint's marketing in the city. That was 2001, and Nathan was laid off soon As luck would have it, the day Nathan was laid off by Sprint was the day before his wedding to his then fiancé Tammy. The pair was married anyway and enjoyed a long, long honeymoon thanks to a poor economy. Out of desperation, Tammy went back to work in Austin and Nathan began doing freelance work in order to pay rent. He called his company AMMOadvertising. Nathan credits any success in his life to God's grace and the love, support, and patience of his wife, Tammy, and son, Hudson. Manlove is Chair of the Board at the Chamber of Commerce, Past-president of the New Braunfels Downtown Association, a member of the CVB Strategy & Steering Committee, a Leadership New Braunfels Graduate (2013), an Opa, and a member of the Rotary Club of New Braunfels.
