I’m Nathanael S. Hammer, a communications expert with over 16 years of experience in the industrial sector, based in Stillwater, Oklahoma. My career has been driven by a singular passion: transforming the complex, technical world of industry into clear, actionable insights that empower professionals and businesses alike. From pipeline safety to process safety management (PSM) and health, safety, and environment (HSE) compliance, I’ve dedicated my work to making the industry safer, more efficient, and more accessible.
A Career Rooted in Communication
For me, communication isn’t just a skill—it’s the backbone of everything I do. With over 16 years of experience in highly complex and technical industrial communications, I’ve dedicated my career to mastering the art of taking intricate concepts and transforming them into clear, actionable insights. My work spans critical areas like pipeline safety, where I ensure that complex infrastructure operates securely and meets stringent standards; process safety management (PSM), where I simplify systems to prevent incidents and enhance reliability; and health, safety, and environment (HSE) compliance, where I guide organizations through regulatory nonsense with clarity and confidence. Beyond these, I’ve applied my communication expertise to business development, strategy, networking, and operational streamlining, always with the goal of cutting through the noise to deliver practical, impactful solutions. What I take the most pride in is my ability to translate dense industrial jargon into something everyone can understand—because I believe that clarity is the foundation of progress.
Co-Founder of Trunkline, Inc.
As the co-founder of Trunkline, Inc., I’ve taken my passion for communication and applied it to solving real-world challenges in the industrial sector. Trunkline is a platform built with the blue-collar worker in mind, designed to simplify how industrial service providers connect with clients and showcase their expertise. Our mobile app empowers field service workers to update their online portfolios in real time—uploading project photos, details, and accomplishments straight from the job site. It’s communication made practical, putting control in the hands of those who keep the industry running.
The results speak for themselves. Trunkline boosts our clients’ online presence by 50-95%, helping industrial vendors stand out online, attract more customers, and win more bids. It’s a tool that not only enhances visibility but also streamlines the way projects are managed and marketed—an extension of my commitment to clarity and efficiency.
Turning Complexity into Clarity
What I take the most pride in is my ability to translate complex industrial jargon into something actionable. The industrial world is full of dense terminology and super intricate processes, but I believe everyone—from field workers to executives—deserves to understand what matters most. Whether I’m writing about petroleum production, fertilizer manufacturing, or emissions reduction (check out my thoughts on Substack), or building tools like Trunkline, my mission is to make the complicated simple, without losing its value.
My Commitment to the Industry
My journey in industrial communications is about more than just words—it’s about impact. By focusing on pipeline safety, PSM, HSE compliance, and innovative solutions like Trunkline, I’m working to create an industry that’s not only safer and more efficient but also more connected. I believe that clear communication is the foundation of progress, and I’m proud to play a part in building that future.
