​Andrew Reichardt
​President

Andrew is the President of NCC-TU. A D.C area native, he attended Georgetown University here in our Nation's Capital and has been plying the waters of the Mid-Atlantic since he swapped his golf clubs for a fly rod several years ago.
​
Whether "blue-lining" for native brook trout in Shenandoah National Park, pursuing wild trout on the limestone creeks of Southern Pennsylvania or running his fishing raft on the rivers of Western Maryland, 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 a TU Life Member, FFI Certified Casting Instructor and is excited about the opportunity to lead the Chapter.

Mark Binsted
Vice-President

Mark is the Vice-President of NCC-TU. Mark describes himself as an architect and a river rat, not necessarily in that order. He has fished out of Fletcher’s Cove since he was a teenager in the late 1960’s, and would later share his love of the river with three sons. Mark still lives along the Potomac in the Palisades neighborhood neighborhood within sight of the Cove. Alex, his oldest, returned to the river after college and became the manager of Fletcher’s Boathouse in 2017. Over the past decade Mark has enjoyed writing and speaking for NCC-TU about his favorite obsession, the Potomac shad run. He is also a founding member of Friends of Fletcher's Cove, a group of volunteers that is working to preserve public river access at this vital location.
