Nat was born January 10, 1949, in Ogden, Utah to Morgan Cliff Edwards and Nora Green Edwards. He was raised in Idaho Falls. He graduated from Idaho Falls High School in 1967.
Following graduation, he moved to Pocatello, ID where he attended Idaho State University. While at ISU he met the love of his life, Bonnie Nell Goldman, and they were married on August 14, 1970. They lived in Hagerman where Nat started farming potatoes while working on his brother’s, Cliff Edwards, farm.

In 1983, he built and managed B & N Storages. He had a love of the stock market, watching and trading financials daily, always keeping a pulse on the market and eager to share his market knowledge with anyone who would listen.
In his free time, he loved tinkering around in his shop, working on some metal or wood working projects. Other passions were fishing for kokanee and trout in the Blacktail area and endless teasing of the grandkids.
