Gerald Mattison, MBA

Adjunct Professor, Finance

After graduating from the University of Idaho with my MBA in 1977, Gerald began his career in banking with Idaho First National Bank. Over the years, banking changed dramatically, and through several mergers and acquisitions, he worked for West One Bank, US Bank, and Idaho Independent Bank. The vast majority of those years he served an a branch manager, responsible for the day to day functions of the branch, but was primarily engaged in lending to businesses and individuals. In the Fall of 2011, Gerald left banking, and started teaching at Boise State University, and has been teaching here ever since.
