  • Nat provides a level of personalized service that is becoming rarer these days. He took our questions one by one and ultimately synthesized our overall objectives, which he surmised from the questions in the aggregate. One way he exhibits competence and customer service is that he listens carefully and explains well. Great examples and communications.
