​Andrew Reichardt
​President

Andrew is in his fourth year as the President of NCC-TU. A D.C. native, he attended college here in our Nation's Capital and has been fishing the waters of the Mid-Atlantic since he swapped his golf clubs for a fly rod several years ago. 

Whether pursuing native Brook Trout on the Savage River, Smallmouth Bass and Musky on the upper Potomac, or Shad and Striped Bass at Fletcher's Cove, he can be found most weekends chasing after one of the many freshwater species that call our area home. 

A graduate of the National Outdoor Leadership School in Wyoming and  Sweetwater Guide School in Montana, Andrew is the Vice-Chair of the Mid-Atlantic Council of TU, the Conservation Chair of the Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders, a member of the FFI Advisory Council, a member of the FFI National Conservation Committee, and an FFI Certified Casting Instructor.

Ben Simonds
Vice-President

Ben is a lifelong TU member, and served as NCC-TU’s Communications chair from 2019 to 2020. He grew up fishing small mountain streams in New Hampshire and then took his fly rod with him to Scotland when he attended the university of St Andrews. After being fortunate enough to fish rivers across Europe for more than a decade, he returned to DC three years ago and has spent much of that time exploring waters in the DC metro area, northern Virginia and Maryland.

​Ben is most at home exploring blue lines on the map, including for NCC-TU’s new conservation initiative: the Anglers Corp. When his flies aren’t snagged on a submerged log, he looks forward to continuing to expand the the membership and diversity of the chapter, supporting its conservation initiatives and helping new anglers enjoy all the area has to offer.
