Growing up in the Pacific NW, Nathan enjoyed being outdoors, playing sports and music. He received a Bachelor of Theology from Portland Bible College and spent 9 years working in ministry. Shortly after, he began a career in financial services and has never looked back.

Nathan spent the beginning of his financial career with West Pac Wealth Partners as a Managing Director. His time with West Pac helped develop his passion for business and business owners. After nearly 6 years he co-founded NW Premier as a way to serve his clients in a more wholistic and meaningful way.

​​When he’s not working you’ll likely find Nathan on an adventure with his three boys.

Mike was adopted from Peru by Canadian parents and moved to the states at 9 years old. Growing up he learned the value of money hay bailing in summers. Waking up at 4am and working until 10am helped him realize the value of money and time. While in school, Mike remembers getting magazines for foreclosed homes and always wanted to know how houses could be going 2 for 1. This started his desire to understand how real estate and money work. Mike graduated from WSU in 2016 after working full time and going to school part time. With a BA in marketing and a minor in sales, he looked for a company to teach him about real estate, business and money. After interviewing  over 15 companies he found his home with Nathan Ganz and co-founded NW Premier. Mike’s son is his driving force to continue to educate himself, build and maintain a solid reputation in our community, truly building a legacy for his son. He hopes his son will take his efforts to heart or even take over one day. Mike truly believes the more money you make, the more you give back.

Melinda’s inspiration for bookkeeping started early. As the daughter of an entrepreneur in rural, southern Missouri, it was easy for her to identify that small business owners had a lot to handle. This sparked her passion for bookkeeping. Melinda over the years has worked with multiple small businesses to ensure that they knew where their money was being spent to best maximize their business.

She is the mother of two amazing children, three cats and one dog. When she is not working, Melinda can be found reading, gardening, or just enjoying the lake and outdoors.

Melinda’s goal is for business owners to be able to focus on their passion and be assured that their company books are in good hands. 

Jeri was born and raised in the Cajun country of deep south Louisiana. One month before hurricane Katrina, she and her husband of 30 years sold their home, packed up their belongings and 5 young children to head for the hills of East Tennessee where they would remain and raise their children for the next several years. They are now thoroughly enjoying their empty nest.

Jeri has 18 years and a world of experience in bookkeeping and is now hanging her hat at NW Premier with a commitment to give her very best to her company and her clients. She is efficient, great attention to detail, and quick.

In her spare time, she enjoys finding adventure everywhere she goes, whether it be in the mountains, on the lake, at the beach, or at home. Her all-time favorite pastime is spending time on the back porch or around the fire pit playing music with her 5 children, their spouses, her 6 grandchildren and 2 on the way.
