Hi , I’m Nate and I have 3 years of sales experience all of which are at FreedomWay Trucks. I specialize in commercial trucks. I’m a very patient, easy going person to work with .

When it comes to me my family is everything! I have a very large close family. I love to travel and see the world. On top of my bucket list is Paris, France, I hope to travel to soon. I also have a very loyal companion for over the last 13 years. He’s a Great Pyrenees who is so loving that I spend all of my spare time with.
