Nathaniel Persons

Agency Owner/ Life Specialist

Nathaniel (Nate) Persons is a dedicated agency owner with a passion for ensuring clients understand and trust their insurance coverage. After witnessing the impact of a devastating tornado in St. Peter in 1998, he was inspired to enter the insurance industry to provide a higher standard of service than he experienced. Starting as a MetLife Auto & Home agent in 2008, he transitioned to a Farmers agency in 2021 following a brand acquisition. Throughout his career, his integrity and commitment to customer education have been unwavering, qualities that have helped keep his agency in the top 10% of the company.

Outside the office, Nate cherishes time with his family—his wife Kelly (who also works alongside him) and their children Malakai, Elijah, and Eliana. They are involved in the business, helping with various tasks, and still manage to enjoy quality family time through camping, boating, and traveling adventures. In addition,
Nathaniel finds joy in coaching and relaxing with a favorite movie or TV show.

A self-professed night owl, Nate ensures he’s available to meet his clients’ needs even outside traditional business hours, as he believes in going above and beyond to serve them. His previous experience as a sales supervisor and custom theater and home automation installer with Best Buy equipped him with vital skills that laid the foundation for his successful insurance career, evident in the numerous sales awards the office has received.

With every client interaction, Nate strives to convey complex insurance concepts with clarity, transforming confusion into understanding. His dedication to ethical practices and comprehensive service is a testament to his foundational belief that excellence in client service makes all the difference.
