Nathan Buccheit
Affiliate/Reseller Specialist + Strategist
Nathan Buchheit is a real estate investor and business owner who has personally implemented The Shred Method™ for more than four years. Through consistent application of the strategy, Nathan experienced a complete shift in how he thinks about money—moving from traditional debt payoff toward strategic leverage, interest minimization, and intentional cash-flow growth.
By applying The Shred Method across both his personal finances and real estate businesses, Nathan has been able to increase cash flow, reduce interest paid, and grow income significantly. More importantly, the process created clarity and confidence around how to use leverage as a tool to support long-term goals rather than limit them.
Outside of business, Nathan is a husband and father of two. He enjoys playing basketball and coaching his kids, and he values building a financial strategy that supports time with family, personal growth, and community involvement. His passion is helping others create the same balance—using money intentionally so it becomes a foundation for freedom, opportunity, and impact rather than stress.

Gerardo Viana
Client Success + Operations
With over five years of experience as an administrative assistant and content manager, and more than two years working closely with The Shred Method™, Gerardo plays a key role in supporting members and shaping how the Shred message is communicated and experienced.
Gerardo is deeply passionate about helping people achieve their financial goals and understand practical “financial hacks” that allow them to improve cash flow, reduce interest, and build freedom—without dramatically changing their lifestyle. Through his work with Shred, he has seen firsthand how small, strategic shifts can create massive long-term impact, and he enjoys helping members gain clarity and confidence in how they use their money.
With a bachelor’s degree in Video Game Design, Gerardo brings a unique creative perspective to his work. He has a strong appreciation for art, design, and creative expression, and enjoys finding innovative ways to communicate complex financial concepts in a way that feels approachable and empowering.
Gerardo believes The Shred Method™ is one of the most effective ways to “hack the matrix”—using math, strategy, and intentional cash flow management to step outside traditional financial systems and create greater freedom, flexibility, and peace of mind.
