Nathan Alexander Simington (born January 31, 1979)[1] is a former commissioner of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Simington previously served as a senior advisor at the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. Prior to that, he had worked as an associate at Mayer Brown, Kirkland & Ellis, and Chapman and Cutler,[2] and as legal counsel at Brightstar Corporation.
Simington grew up in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan and is a naturalized U.S. citizen.[3]
Simington grew up in a rural part of the province. His family were homesteaders in Saskatchewan in the early 1900s. He has said that radio played an important role in his life because growing up he had very few television channels to watch and the radio was "always on."[4]
Simington received a Bachelor of Music in violin performance at Lawrence University, earned a Master of Music in violin performance and a Master of Arts in music theory from the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester, and was awarded a Juris Doctor from the University of Michigan Law School.
