Meet The Board

PRESIDENT

David Serdar was appointed President in January 2004. He has taken an active role in conservation and presented the Society’s opinion on several issues. In fact he will talk fishing and conservation with anyone that will listen. Dave is a self proclaimed fly fishing a-holic. He started fly fishing at the age of 10. He says that he enjoys casting as much as any other part of fly fishing. He also enjoys all the grief his buddies give him when he gets hung up in a tree or falls in the river. In all seriousness, his goal in life is to enjoy fishing with his son and daughter as soon as they grow up a little. To this day, the memories of him fishing with his father are stronger than any other. He hopes to share these same activities with his kids.

VICE PRESIDENT - CONSERVATION

Brock Richardson was appointed Vice President - Conservation in January 2004. He has a background in Fisheries Biology from Utah State University. He has been fly fishing for over 30 years and he also ties his own flies. Brock guided in Alaska for eight years and is currently the owner/operator of Angling Argentina.

VICE PRESIDENT - OPERATIONS

Matt Selders lives in West Jordan with his wife Rachel. He grew up in Idaho and Utah. Matt has spent the last 10 years fly fishing for trout and other species. He prefers fishing small streams and stillwater. Fly fishing for him is a matter of catching fish, not just "being out there". He works in Heber City as manager of Four Seasons Fly Fishers. Matt spends his free time tying flies and writing. He doesn't limit his fishing to fly rod only but prefers fly fishing over other methods.

VICE PRESIDENT - COMMUNICATION

Jason Haslam’s passion for the outdoors and fishing began during his years as a Boy Scout. His favorite outings involved camping and fishing in the Unita and Boulder Mountains. He used the "fly and bubble technique" which works wonders in these high mountain lakes. These trips sparked his interest in learning how to fly fish "for real". He taught himself the art of fly fishing as a result. Jason also enjoys teaching fly tying classes and working on his website (www.utahonthefly.com)

TREASURER

Doug Lee has been a member of the Society since 1997. He continues to do a tremendous job as Treasurer. Doug keeps all of us in line and on track. We can’t remember a time Doug has missed a meeting. He graduated from Weber State in accounting and obtained his CPA license in 1981. He was born and raised in Tooele and grew up fishing the creek that ran less than 100 yards from his back door.

SECRETARY

Fred Reimherr continues to diligently serve as the Secretary of the club. He joined the Society the first year it was founded, back in 1978. Fred is a psychology professor at the University of Utah. He loves the outdoors and the environment. Fred rides his custom built 26 speed bike everywhere he goes, rain, shine, or snow.

WEBMASTER

Troy Joosten was born into a fishing family. He has stated on numerous occasions "that there is nothing better than casting a fly you tied on a rod you built". Troy's entire extended family makes an annual pilgrimage to the Madison River each June and has done so since 1967. In fact, his first time on the Madison was when he was still in the womb! He obtained two degrees from the University of Utah and earned his MBA from Westminster College.
