Nathanael Hughes, MBA Northwestern Mutual

I specialize in comprehensive financial planning. This includes mitigating risk through insurance solutions, saving money tax favorably, efficient wealth distribution and estate planning. My client market consists mostly of physicians/medical professionals, business owners, and other highly motivated individuals. My team and I enjoy building strong financial plans and long term relationships with our clients.

Northeast Community Credit Union began in 1952 as Elizabethton Teachers Credit Union to provide financial services to area educators.  A small group of school teachers petitioned the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions for a charter to begin the credit union, due to school staff finding it more difficult to borrow since they were paid only when school was in session rather than year-round.  The petition was granted, and one of the original petitioners, Mr. William “Bill” Armstrong has served NCCU in various volunteer roles ever since then and currently serves as Chairman of our Board of Directors.  Credit Union Directors must meet specific eligibility and educational requirements and are responsible for the safety and soundness of the Credit Union.

In 1996 we converted to a community charter, allowing us to serve those who live, work, worship, or attend school in Carter, Johnson, Washington, Unicoi and Sullivan counties and their family members.  We remain accountable to our membership and to state and federal regulators who strictly examine our operations on a regular basis as required by law.  We are pleased to receive excellent ratings and rank in the top 2% among all financial institutions for strength and stability.

Movement was created to be different. Founded in 2008, amidst one of the biggest financial meltdowns in American history, Movement set forth on a mission to create a Movement of Change in our industry, in corporate cultures and in communities.

First, we pioneered a unique approach to home loans centered around helping homebuyers, quickly and easily. Then, we created a model so that our profit creates a long-term positive impact in communities both close to home and around the globe.

For our borrowers, we commit to building relationships based on communication. We get it home loans can be confusing and stressful – But they don’t have to be. And we work to make sure they aren’t.

It all comes back to our mission, to love and value people in everything we do.
