I am a Denver native who has 20 years experience in all levels of small business, including management, marketing, and ownership. After helping to grow two family owned businesses, a production company and a neighborhood bar & grill, I moved into a position at Transworld to help others achieve their goals of buying or selling a small business. I'm a Business Broker with Transworld Business Advisors—Rocky Mountain, which is a business brokerage firm that has achieved #1 status out of 200 global franchises for four years running. We offer services throughout Colorado, New Mexico & Wyoming and are currently the #1 business brokerage firm in the Rocky Mountain region. Over the past 7 years, our team has completed $110 million+ in transactions, worked directly with over 1,500 business owners, was involved with 250+ deals, and gave over 10,000 entrepreneurs guidance about buying and selling businesses. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my wife and two boys, hiking, biking, and anything else the great outdoors of Colorado has to offer.
With over 20 years of experience in Air Traffic Control and a proud veteran of the U.S. Navy, Nathan knows that in high-stakes environments, there is no room for error. As a former FAA Operations Supervisor and current Commercially rated pilot, he spent two decades managing complex airspace where success was defined by "zero-fail" execution. Today, he brings that same tactical discipline and "Risk Intelligence" to the world of business brokerage. A seasoned entrepreneur himself, Nathan has owned and operated successful ventures across the aviation, automotive, and home service sectors. He understands the "in-the-trenches" reality of scaling a business and treats every client’s exit strategy like a complex flight path—requiring a clear vision and a perfectly timed landing. Now proud to call Colorado home, when he isn't navigating a deal or flying, you’ll find him in the great outdoors with his two daughters, making the most of the Colorado lifestyle.

Before transitioning into business brokerage and M&A, I spent over a decade as the owner and operator of three health clubs in the Denver Metro Area, two of which I launched from the ground up, and one I acquired. Managing dozens of employees and contractors, overseeing complex leases and build-outs, and navigating a wide range of operational challenges taught me invaluable lessons along the way. In 2017, I was ready for a new chapter and engaged Transworld Business Advisors of Colorado to help facilitate the sale of my business. Following the successful transaction, I joined the Transworld team as a business broker, a role that felt like a natural progression. In 2022, I became an equity Partner in our Colorado office. If you're considering selling your business, I’d be happy to explore its value and what a tailored exit strategy could look like. Our team has guided hundreds of business owners through the process of valuation, preparation, and sale with clarity and confidence.

After a career focused in helping entrepreneurs grow their business in different capacities; sales, marketing, leadership and strategy, I realized my incredible passion for helping business owners achieve their vision.

That experience coupled alongside my own business in connecting business owners to the with the best resources and people for their business, aligns with my ability to be of service. Passionate about business, I believe, at its core, business is about trust and building strong relationships.
