Concord Origin Story: Nate Vernon

By Kate Huber

In the world of comic books, origin stories inform the reader of the identity and motivations of heroes and villains (thankfully, we only have the former here). Like Spider-Man or Captain America, your origin story is important as it defines who you are today. Learn about the experiences, people, and influences that shaped Concord's Nate Vernon by reading below!

Where did you grow up?

Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

What is your favorite family tradition?

When I was a kid on Christmas Eve, my siblings and I would all sleep in the same room and wake up before sunrise to sneak a peek at Santa’s gifts before waking our parents for the day.

Who has had the greatest influence on your life?

My father.

What is your favorite travel destination?

Lake Tahoe.

What’s an experience that shaped who you are today?

Perhaps cliché, but becoming a dad!

What is your favorite food?

Steak Tacos

How did you end up in your current career?

Right out of college, I sort of fell into a consulting role at Medtronic. I continued doing Salesforce consulting at other companies for several years — until an opportunity in the music industry put that on pause. Now, the journey has come full circle, bringing me back to consulting at Concord.

What is your favorite hobby?

I’m into all sorts of outdoor activities — biking, snowshoeing, and walks with our dogs. And of course, fantasy football.

When do you felt most accomplished?

I launched an art gallery in a warehouse space that I had spent several years renovating — with the help of many others!

What advice would you give your younger self?

Never settle for external approval or success — continually challenge yourself to grow and achieve more.
