Fullmer served two terms as Chairman of the Yavapai-Apache Nation. While in office he initiated strategic planning efforts supporting action steps for sustainability through economic development and diversification, education, fiscal planning, and community development; increasing productivity and efficiency, with a focus on workforce development while maintaining members’ services.

Fullmer earned his Masters of Social Work degree from the University of Utah and his Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Southern Utah University.

Fullmer’s focus reaches far beyond his own community; he has served as President of the Inter-Tribal Council of Arizona, and he is currently on the board of Northern Arizona University President’s Native American Advisory Board and a board member of Arizona State University’s American Indian Policy Institute.
