Meet the Team

Nathan Yarusso, CDR, USN (Ret.)

Raised in Portland, Oregon, Nate served in the United States Navy as a Naval Aviator from 1992-2012. He was commissioned an Ensign on June 13, 1992 at Oregon State University. He went on to flight training at NAS Pensacola, and NAS Whiting Field, receiving his wings of gold in February of 1995 as a helicopter pilot, and then later in 2000 as a tactical jet pilot. He flew off ships stationed on both coasts with six overseas deployments to the Mediterranean, Pacific, and North Arabian Gulf. He retired in 2012 in Anacortes, WA.

After retirement he flew with an overseas contract company in Afghanistan and Iraq. Wanting more time at home, and his own business, he purchased a Footprints Floors franchise centered in Everett, WA. Nate loves the work he does, his interactions with customers, and providing a service to many. He still resides in Anacortes with his wife of 30 years, Sarah. They have two children. A recently married daughter who lives in the Seattle area, and a son who is in his final year at California Maritime Academy. In his spare time he enjoys events with his family, growing dahlias, and restoring vintage Mercedes Benz.
