Welcome to Nate’s Great Escapes!

At first glance, you might perceive me as someone who fits the mold of a typical middle-aged manager. And perhaps in some ways, I do embody those characteristics. After all, I hold a position as an SVP over the Operational Center of Excellence Group at a prominent regional bank. In this role I work with a team of dedicated professionals that has creates automated solutions that has saved our company hundreds of thousands of manual labor hours and assists in generating millions of dollars in revenue. It’s been a great career being able to make a meaningful difference to the bank and community we serve.

However, working at the bank is not who I am and you’ll rarely hear me talking about my career. I work to live and my work supports my real passions. If you really get to know me, we’d most likely end up talking about travel or personal finance. Those are my life passions! I often feel like a human ATM, dispensing valuable insights and advice on both financial matters and travel experiences in equal measure.
