Professional Real Estate Accomplishments
Community Involvement: Nashville and Middle Tennessee
The success of his initiatives correlates to the opportunities he’s been given. Recognizing the valuable experiences he’s achieved, Nate uses the opportunity to get involved in Nashville’s community to help others find success.
Founder of The Tennessee Tubs & a Member of Nashville’s Porsche Community
Nate had his first experience of driving a car – a Porsche 365C Coupe owned by his father – in 1964 at the tender age of 12. That was the beginning of his love affair with Porsche – a hobby and a passion that has allowed him to meet some exceptional people in the world.
Around 2005 Nate founded the Tennessee Tubs, a club dedicated to the preservation and enjoyment of the Porsche 356. The Club unites individuals across Nashville and all of Tennessee who are interested in the vintage Porsche sports car.
Nate’s First Car
His childhood experience inspired the purchase of his first car –1964 Porsche 356 Cabriolet – while in his Junior year at The University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Having bought it in 1973, Nate used the car regularly during his college days for over two years.
He sold the car following his graduation to buy something more practical but vowed to purchase another Porsche. And he did, several times.
A Prized Hobby
Nate did fulfill his promise and managed to buy, restore, and sell many 365’s over the years until he came across a red 1965 356C Cabriolet. He bought it way back in 1988 – the same year when he laid the foundations of TVG, Inc. – and still owns the vehicle to date.
The red Porsche has been a witness to his success story as a real estate broker for over four decades, and it remains his go-to mode of transportation when he goes to breakfast with his wife Kim on the weekends. Their favorite spots include Nashville's Pancake Pantry, Noshville and The Loveless Cafe.
Nate’s hobby eventually prompted him to lay the foundations of the Tennessee Tubs in the Nashville Porsche Community.
