Bostick earned a Business Administration/Accounting degree from the University of South Dakota and later returned to achieve his Master of Professional Accountancy degree. His professional career began in 2004 in Audit, Assurance and Advisory Services with Deloitte in Minneapolis before becoming Internal Audit Manager with Matanuska Valley Federal Credit Union four years later.

“Community First is an incredible credit union, exemplified by its exceptional commitment to serving our members and uplifting our communities,” Bostick said. “I am excited for the opportunity to contribute to the continued success of Community First.”
Giving back through volunteer service and community engagement has been a priority for Bostick, who served as a board member/promoter of financial education for Alaska Business Week and Financial Reality Foundation/Get REAL Financial Reality Fair, as well as a board member with the Palmer Chamber of Commerce, the Alaska Credit Union League and Matanuska Electric Association Foundation plus volunteering as a youth sports coach.
