He's the creator of Quickfire, an open-source-core agency management platform built by a broker who’s spent over twenty years inside real commercial P&C operations (not a whiteboard fantasy nor VC theater). His software has been forged with a painstakingly thorough understanding of renewals, endorsements, audits, deadlines, and the constant pressure of things needing to just work.
Early Work & Industry Firsts
Nathan’s career started early. At 14, he was already working professionally in interactive media, back when the web was experimental and multimedia meant building everything from scratch. He contributed to multiple industry firsts, including the first internet-enabled CD-ROMs and a world-first interactive music video for Prince, while working with clients such as Toshiba and Transamerica. As a teenager, he appeared on NBC and the front page of the Orange County Register for an interactive résumé that catapulted his early career and led to his first successful company.
Building at Scale
Over the last two decades, he has worked at the intersection of design, systems, and software, building platforms designed to scale under real-world pressure. His work has supported products featured on Shark Tank, been highlighted by CNN, and trusted by high-profile figures including Juan Sebastián and Lori Greiner.
Service & Stewardship
Nathan has served as Art and Technical Director for MY HERO, a top-3% global nonprofit platform reaching millions across more than 200 countries. He has donated decades of creative and technical leadership in service of MY HERO’s educational and humanitarian mission. His work there earned multiple Webby and W3 honors—not for trends, but for execution that holds up.
Insurance, From the Inside
In parallel, Nathan helped run and operate a multi-generation commercial insurance agency, wearing every hat that matters: broker, sysadmin, marketer, process designer, and problem solver. He managed a seven-figure book of business, migrated staff to Applied Epic, built internal tools, and learned firsthand where agency software breaks down. That experience is the spine of his software efforts in the P&C space.
How He Builds
Technically, Nathan is a full-stack builder with deep roots in .NET, C#, SQL, and systems architecture, comfortable stitching together APIs, legacy platforms, and modern tooling without drama. Creatively, he has led branding, UI, video, and multimedia work at a professional level for decades. Practically, he’s known for fixing things that are stuck, simplifying things that are bloated, and building systems that don’t collapse under real use.
Quickfire is the result.
