Nathan is a visionary entrepreneur with a profound personal story of resilience, recovery, and purpose. With over 12 years of success in the mortgage lending industry, his life took a dramatic turn in 2004 when he suffered a severe stroke that impaired his speech, reading ability, and short-term memory. Unable to work and financially devastated, Nathan spent more than a decade rebuilding his life from the ground up—relying on food stamps, food banks, and the support of family to survive.

​

Despite overwhelming odds and advice to claim disability benefits, Nathan chose a different path—one rooted in determination and belief in his own recovery. Through years of rehabilitation supported by the State of Oregon, and intensive cognitive retraining at both City and State Colleges, he gradually restored his capabilities and reclaimed his independence.

​

Today, Nathan has returned not just with his health, but with a mission. Drawing from his own lived experience with poverty and food insecurity, he founded Feeding American Home Loans—a mortgage company like no other. The company donates 100% of its profits to food banks across the country, addressing hunger at its core. Under Nathan's leadership, the organization has built partnerships with over 250 national food banks, working collaboratively to fight food insecurity in the United States.

​

In parallel, Nathan is also leading a bold challenge to the mortgage industry's outdated infrastructure and over-reliance on loan officers—two vulnerabilities he believes create an opportunity for transformational change through innovation and automation.

​

This is, as Nathan describes it, a true David and Goliath story. Through Feeding American Home Loans, he is not only disrupting an industry but also providing a sustainable solution to feed Americans in need.

A dedicated family man based in Southern California, Nathan continues to volunteer his time and strengthen relationships with food banks nationwide. As CEO, he is the driving force behind the organization’s media outreach, strategic vision, and unwavering commitment to making a real difference.
