Nathan Steele is having a big impact on your life. You just may not know it.
As the City of Maricopa’s director of economic and community development, he helps blaze a path for Maricopa’s economy and recruits new businesses. In his two years working with City Manager Rick Horst, the city has seen considerable growth.
He and his wife Diana live in town with their four young boys and are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their fifth. A Utah native, Steele earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Brigham Young University, served his church mission in Texas and gained more responsibilities in public administration positions in Utah, Wisconsin and California
before taking the Maricopa position.
JT: What attracted you to Maricopa besides the job?
NS: I love how family-friendly it is here. I love going to Copper Sky for a football game with my kids and seeing hundreds of other kids and families having fun. There’s nothing better.
