Daniel Prohaska founded Idaho Trust Bank along with his brother Thomas, and has served as the bank's Chairman of the Board since 1999 and as CEO since 1998. He formerly practiced law as a trust, tax and estate specialist in partnership with his brother and received B.A. and J.D. degrees from University of Idaho.

Daniel's role as CEO is to ensure that Idaho Trust fulfills its objectives of offering a ‘total solution’ to its clients' banking needs and to maintain the bank's focus on their success. “Our bank has clients, other banks have customers. That is a subtle but very important distinction. We listen to our clients and give them what they want and need to be successful in business and in their personal lives. That's the essence of private business banking.”

In addition to his legal background, Daniel is a graduate of the American Bankers Association Trust School at Northwestern University. He has been active in drafting trust legislation in Idaho through the Real Property, Trust and Probate Section of the Idaho State Bar, the Public Affairs Committee and the Trust Committee of the Idaho Bankers Association and Trust and Estate Professionals of Idaho—all of which he is a member. Daniel also serves as a Director of the Downtown Boise Association.

Daniel's legal experience colors his perspective on Idaho Trust's mission and culture. “A trust lawyer is trained to always put the best interests of the client first, and this orientation carries over to the relationships we build with our banking clients. That means we are always listening and responding to their needs.”

Tom Prohaska is a co-founder of Idaho Trust Bank, and in addition to bank president he also serves as secretary and treasurer. Tom and his brother and co-founder Daniel Prohaska formerly shared a legal practice specializing in trust, tax and estate law. Tom received his B.S. and J.D. degrees from the University of Idaho, where he served on the Idaho Law Review. He remains a member of the Idaho State Bar and serves in its Taxation, Probate and Trust Law Section and Corporate and Securities Law Section. He has also participated in the Idaho State Treasurer's Investment Policy Consortium and is a regular guest lecturer on trustee duties at Gonzaga University School of Law.

Tom has given hundreds of presentations on trust-related topics to the public and to professional organizations, including local estate planning councils, the Idaho State Bar Association, the Conference of State Banking Supervisors and the Idaho Trial Lawyers Association. He has been featured in the Spokane Business Journal, Bloomberg Wealth Manager Magazine, Lawyer's Weekly, Trusts and Estates Magazine and ABA Law Practice Management Journal.

As president of Idaho Trust, Tom reviews all fiduciary accounts and sees his primary responsibility as evaluating the quality of the service and solutions that the bank's front line officers deliver. As a former attorney, Tom approaches his banking clients with the same sense of advocacy that characterized his relationship with his legal clients. “I have engaged in hundreds of initial consultations with clients during which we ask probing questions related to their personal goals and objectives. When I'm brought in to consult with any of our bank officers I want to be able to judge the quality of what we are doing based on my knowledge of our clients and their needs.”

Tom's vision for Idaho Trust Bank has been shaped by feedback he received through years of estate planning. “As an attorney I did about 200 estate plans per year and conducted more than 500 seminars where I listened to literally thousands of questions. If you were to put all of these questions into broad categories of concern, they would define the continuum of services that we want to address as a bank—and everything you would need to know about investment management.”

Stanley K. Fornander brings 35 years of experience in trust administration to his position as Senior Wealth Management Private Banker and Vice President for Idaho Trust Bank. During his career he has managed assets totaling in the several billions of dollars across multi-state banking operations. This experience has led to a profound knowledge of administrative processes and best practices that were honed at U.S. Bank, where he was responsible for directing the activities of Personal Trust Administrators and Trust Support Services throughout the Intermountain Region. Stan left U.S. Bank as that company's Senior Vice President and Regional Trust Manager for operations in Idaho, Utah, Oregon and Washington.

Since joining Idaho Trust in April 2004, Stan has overseen the Bank's trust administration. His decision to leave the world of corporate banking was driven by the need he perceived for more personalized trust management services—a need that was created as merged banks moved their trust business out of state. “It was dismaying to see the consolidation of trust management services into administrative groups with as many as 1,000 accounts being handled by as few as three to four account managers. At Idaho Trust our clients deal directly with people who are focused on quick decision turnaround and not on interstate policies.”

Stan's banking career began in 1969 at the Trust Division of Idaho First National Bank. He received a BBA at Idaho State University in 1966, an MBA at Idaho State University in 1969 and completed the Advanced Estate Planning Course at the American College in 1974. He graduated with honors from the University of Washington's Pacific Coast Banking School in 1978. Stan currently holds a Certified Trust & Financial Advisor (CTFA) designation from the Institute of Certified Bankers, which is sponsored by the American Banking Association. He is also a past member of the ABA's Planning Committee for the Advanced Program for Trust Professionals.

Stan takes immense pride in Idaho Trust's ability to balance asset volume with individualized service. “The larger the institution the more of a tendency there is to sell pre-packaged solutions. We start by understanding the needs of each individual client and then spend the time to guide them through the trust process rather than simply ‘warehouse’ agreements. Trust operations and investment management are what this bank was built on.”

Stan is well known within the wider Idaho business and civic community. He is a past president of the Boise Estate Planning Council and the Idaho Bankers Association's Trust Committee and serves on the Idaho State University Foundation Board, the Esther Simplot Performing Arts Academy Board, the Opera Idaho Board of Directors and the Boise State University Bronco Athletic Association Endowment Committee.
