Nate Downey moved to Bonneville County after graduating from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology.

Shortly after moving to Idaho, he was hired as a Teller with Frontier Credit Union and after about 8 months of working as a teller was promoted to Loan Officer. After six months he was again promoted to Assistant Branch Manager of the Freeman Branch where he spent approximately five years. Nate held his last position of Mortgage Loan Officer for around nine months before leaving Frontier and going to work for the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office as a deputy where he has been for over 13 years.

Just over a year after leaving Frontier Nate was elected to the board of directors where has served for 12 years. During this time Nate has served in the positions of Secretary, Treasurer, and Chairman. Nate says, “As the only Frontier board member that I know of to have first been an employee I was able to see personally how decisions in the board room affected the staff and members of Frontier. I believe in the credit union movement, in people helping people and I believe that Frontier Credit Union has many more great things ahead of us which makes me want to continue to be a part of this amazing organization.”
