Matthew H. Nash

Matthew was born and raised in the Detroit area and still has family in the Midwest. After several years in the bar industry in Chicago, he decided to venture into the insurance world. He sold property & casualty, life (via the old-fashioned cheek swabbing method), and health for over 10 years. In 2015, he moved to the Bay Area and married his wife who is originally from Kyrgyzstan in San Francisco in 2016. That same year, Matthew joined one of the largest travel insurance companies in the world and managed business development for North America. At The Swiftest, Matthew is a prolific researcher, data analyst, and writer covering all things insurance. He is definitely the resident insurance nerd (holding licenses in all 50 states plus D.C.), and he loves numbers, charts, and graphs. He is also spearheading our research department that is studying important social issues which we feel will provide value beyond insurance. Outside of work, he is training for his first marathon and is an avid runner. He has been a pet owner his entire life and in October, 2021 he and his wife adopted a kitten named Ramen. He has traveled extensively around the globe (his favorite is Budapest, Hungary) and has been to 48 of the 50 states with only Alaska and Maine to go. He’s also visited every Canadian province.
