A Message from Our Founder

Hi. My name is Nate Becker, and I am the owner of Higher Ground Moving. Born in Portland, Oregon, I have since moved around to many of its surrounding areas including Salem, Woodburn, Turner, Jefferson, Breitenbush Hot Springs, and even the forest. I eventually chose to settle in beautiful Bend, Oregon. Here I assembled my excellent team of central Oregon movers.

For five years, I worked at various companies and explored different ventures before realizing that I wanted to start my own successful business. That’s when I jumped into the moving industry.

As it turns out, starting a moving business is a lot more than you and your buds showing off your muscles when moving a couch from the garage to the living room. Who would have known!?

There is so much that goes into moving others’ cherished possessions, which is why it is a mission of mine to ensure all customers are happy, no damage is done, and that we operate 100% under ODOT’s requirements. Since starting the business, I have learned how to find trustworthy employees, efficiently run a good crew, and earn proper legality.
