Hello, I was born and raised in mid-western Canada on a farm. My grandparents immigrated from Poland and Ukraine then settled near our farming community back in 1927. I come from a family of seven children - four brothers and two sisters. Four of us reside in California (Bay Area and LA Area), two still live in Saskatchewan, Canada and one lives in Lund, Sweden. I reside in Walnut Creek with my wife and our two kids and maintain dual citizenship in the U.S. and Canada. While growing up on the farm, by the time I was eight years old I learned how to drive a tractor, shift gears on the grain truck, milk goats then carry the dairy buckets from the barn back to the house. I truly understand hard work and the value of an earned dollar. I received an academic and a baseball scholarship in 2000 and left the farm for California to pursue my baseball dreams at University. I played all four years but my baseball career was cut short as a result of an injury. I continued my studies at Menlo College, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Business Management in 2005. I started in the financial industry back in 2007 with Bankers Life, just before the subprime mortgage and credit crisis in 2008 and 2009. I got involved with financial planning because I wanted to help my mom and dad make smarter decisions about their money, especially as they both experienced a major life milestone. My parents were recently divorced after decades of marriage, they worked hard and saved for many years and I wanted to make sure they guarded their nest eggs. With over 17 years of helping manage and transition wealth; I fully understand the value of protecting assets for retirement and family. Planning provides direction for action, my choices have impacted my family’s well-being in a positive way and I will extend that same experience, guidance and care to you and your family.NathanAdvisory Services are offered through investment advisor representatives of J.W.
