Growing up in a family of entrepreneurs, Nathan Drummond gained hands-on experience in the ups and downs of small business ownership. Working in those businesses as a young teenager, and now in his own business operations, has given him a strong understanding of the rewards, challenges, and hard work required of business owners. A college education and a short career in construction ultimately guided him toward business ownership. He was fortunate to be mentored within his family’s business, Coastal Consultants LLC, where he developed a deep appreciation for the value of a positive attitude when working with people and organizations across a wide range of industries. His experience spans from small, single-owner businesses to large multinational companies with diverse cultures and expectations.

After receiving additional training from the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA) and gaining over six years of industry experience, Nathan is well-positioned to relate to business owners—as well as members of his generation—who are seeking to build generational wealth through business ownership.
