Don Frazier is a seasoned and strategic executive with a wealth of experience in business-to-business market development, market launch planning, and tactical direction. Don oversees all aspects of revenue generation, from market research and analytics to strategic planning. After spending two decades providing working capital to large businesses, Don realized his skills would best help entrepreneurs, not mega-corporations.
Don currently resides in Alexandria, Virginia with his wife (Marine Corps officer), 2 young kids, and 3 dogs. In his spare time, you can find him with his kids hiking, skiing, playing golf, or anything outside and away from screens or the hustle and bustle.
Chris began his finance career at leading investment banks like Bank of New York Mellon and Goldman Sachs, gaining invaluable experience in the financial markets. He then made a strategic shift to the tech sector, joining Tradeshift, a digital B2B marketplace. At Tradeshift, Chris led the launch of Tradeshift Cash in the UK, facilitating over $120 million in working capital for suppliers. This experience sparked his passion for supporting small businesses, steering him away from Wall Street to focus on helping entrepreneurs grow and positively impact their communities.
Recognizing the potential of the Secure 2.0 program for entrepreneurs, Chris has become a key advocate, advising business owners on how to capitalize on this opportunity.
Outside of work, Chris is an outdoor enthusiast, enjoying cycling and snowboarding in the Rocky Mountains with his wife and two dogs. His ability to blend his professional expertise with a down-to-earth lifestyle makes him a unique and approachable advisor for small business owners.

Scott Swinchock is a licensed and accredited professional with decades of experience in the financial services industry. Over the years he has become a subject matter expert regarding generational wealth transfer strategies, the structuring and implementation of tax mitigation plans and the utilization of life insurance as an asset class. Scott has a passion for financial planning and his vision for NestWorth is to assist individuals and business owners/executives in becoming financial accountability partners to one another. It is through this type of relationship that true collaboration occurs.
Scott lives in Washington, Pennsylvania with wife of 12 years, Janel, 2 daughters, Emily & Ella and his Bernedoodle, Sadie. In his free time, which isn’t very much, you can find him on the golf course (trying to avoid double bogeys), traveling the globe, and/or in a restaurant (enjoying the meal as the chef intended).
What is the difference between an “ordinary” life and an “extraordinary” life? It’s simply the “extra”! Live extra, breathe extra, act extra…just be extra!!!
Shaun's career began in financial roles at Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, where he excelled in business development and was promoted into leadership roles. During that time, he also obtained his MBA from Babson College. He eventually moved on to U.S. Trust (now Bank of America Private Bank), where he was named Managing Director and Market Sales Executive for the Boston Market.
In 2021, Shaun launched his own venture, North Iron Holdings, with the goal of identifying business owners ready to transition their firm to someone with a stewardship mindset, dedicated to ethical growth and long-term achievement. He believes that a business owner’s vision and values are an essential part of any company. And now as a founder of NestWorth, he's able to bring this same energy and mindset.
