Nathan Bemis provides IT services for Common-Sense Solutions, helping team members to
utilize technology as they assist customers to define, track and measure their vocational
development. He develops and maintains forms to meet business needs and delivers ongoing
support and training.

Nate’s past experience includes retail management early in his career, two years as a Rehab
Tech for Tesh, Inc. in Coeur d’Alene, and seven years serving as Public Assistance Coordinator
for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), where he conducted damage
assessments of public infrastructures throughout the United States. In his work with FEMA, he
also supervised field inspectors, reviewed project reports, collaborated with agency
representatives, and developed grant applications.

His involvement with FEMA led Nate to seek further education in engineering, and he earned
his Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Idaho in 2018. He is
now employed by Consor, a large company providing services in transportation and water
system engineering, from design and planning to rehabilitation and upgrades, for cities and
communities all over the American west.

Always intrigued by the natural world, Nate enjoys getting out for a hike with his dog, Koda, to
see what’s over the hill or around the next bend. An enthusiastic camper, one of his favorite
pastimes is finding the perfect spot to build a fire and hunker down with Koda for the night. He
plans to construct his own camper/van conversion for future excursions.
