At NC Farm Bureau, Helping You is What We Do Best. Nathan’s specialty is helping individuals, businesses, and families protect their assets, paychecks, and maintain their standard of living as live events occur.

In today’s World, mistakes, accidents, untimely deaths, and other peoples’ decisions that are often  out of our own control can quickly turn a bad day into a bad life. Everyone has a story that includes different situations and priorities. Understanding the risks to a client’s livelihood and family’s standard of living are paramount in creating a proper insurance program. Additionally, having an expert be transparent in explaining cost versus coverage’s/benefits will help maximize insurance dollars for benefits that most suit the client’s particular needs.

With experience as an investment adviser, financial planner, and business owner, Nathan has the knowledge base to help clients incorporate their insurance program into the ‘overall picture’ as well as highlight areas of potential risks and propose appropriate solutions.

Nathan is a NC native and graduated from Methodist University in Fayetteville, NC with degrees in business. An avid sports fan, traveler, and uncle, he has made Raleigh home. After spending he first part of his career as a professional golfer and then in the golf operations/real estate industry, Nathan branched into financial services, a natural fit for his analytical and business acumen. When asked about why the insurance industry was where he decided to focus, he provided this answer;

“My decision to focus on the insurance side of financial services honestly came from flying into several cities and seeing just how many rooftops there were, knowing each one of them had a different set of circumstances, and ALL needed protection for their homes, automobiles, incomes, life insurance to protect their families, and possibly their business if they owned one. It was an ‘ah-ha moment’. Many times I hear that only wealthy people need insurance. I would argue the person who can’t afford a major life change to affect their income or a bad accident to affect their paycheck needs it even more. I realized my background in business, financial planning, communication, and creating unique solutions would separate me from those who just want to ‘sell insurance’, so here I am.”
