Who is Central Ohio Subarus?
Nathan joined the Columbus Subaru community in the fall of 2001, when he bought his 2000 Impreza 2.5RS. He created small meets-ups at Speeds GoKart Track in Reynoldsburg. There were about six of people there. There was Nate E., Mike A, Ed, and a few others.
He started growing the group through what was then called I-Club (now NASIOC). He would post in the Mid-West forum, much like we do now and plan events. He started adding everyone in the area to his “friends” list on I-Club. The list grew fairly quickly. Every time an event was in the works, he would painstakingly invite each member through clicking each members PM or e-mail. Wow that was a real pain.
Eventually he started the Yahoo Group Central Ohio Subarus. This was so he could send everyone an e-mail without clicking each person’s name in I-Club. The group had grown rapidly. He added a special member, his wife Trisha, in 2002.
Who are Mr. & Mrs. COS
Nathan is a software developer whose had a love for motorsports and cars all his life. He grew up in the Dayton Area and moved to Columbus after graduating from Wright State. When he moved here, he joined the online automotive communities to meet people and get to know the area. That seemingly little step has turned into a passion for making friends, running club events and hanging out with others with like minded loves of cars and Subarus especially.
In 2002, Nathan met Trisha, who is also from the Dayton area. They quickly knew there was no one else for each other. They share a passion for all things automotive. They were married in 2004.
Trisha has a passion for photography, cooking, knitting and a weak spot for anything small and furry. She came to Columbus with her 2 dogs and 3 cats. She runs a her photography business, Lucky Lola Studios in Franklinton
