Nathaniel Broughton   I currently split my time between Columbia and St. Louis thanks to my various business ventures being based in Columbia and everything else in my life being in St. Louis. I am now happily married, and Kristi and I live in the Central West End. We have a small contingent from the company now in St. Louis, and we opened up a "real" office in June 2009. My professional story is that I started working with some internet-based projects when I went to college and now I help run a variety of web 'influenced' companies. Getting into internet marketing in 2002 was simply good timing for me, and the people I met as part of it have made the last 7-8 years of my life pretty amazing. So far, I've spearheaded the online marketing efforts for two Inc 500 winners (Show-Me and MRC) and served as CEO for a 3rd Inc 500 winner with my marketing co, Plus1. I've also taken part in building 2 companies that we've sold out (Show-Me in '05 and LakeRentals in '07). LakeRentals was the first one that I had a majority ownership in. Brooklyn Ventures, SoccerPro and Brilliant are other projects I'm involved with, and I've fulfilled the prophecy of "Corporate Nate" with VAMC, where I serve as Chief Marketing Officer. Over the past 8 years, I've been blessed to work closely with a pair of brothers who need little introduction these days, Brock and Brant Bukowsky, not to mention about 100 other amazing people through our various companies. When I'm not typing away on the laptop, you can find me eating goofy food, tailgating, snowboarding, in California, Vegas, or out on a run somewhere. If you're bored, follow me on Twitter or go read my archival personal blog The Great Success, but don't take it too seriously.
