SFW Names Troy Justensen President
North Salt Lake, UT ? July 13, 2016 ? Sportsmen for Fish & Wildlife (SFW) has named Troy Justensen President. He begins immediately overseeing day-to-day operations and management of the Utah-based non-profit wildlife conservation organization.
Justensen has been with SFW since 1994 when the sportsman?s group began organizing state and local chapters to raise funds and grassroots support for its mule deer recovery and elk expansion programs in Utah. He is a life-long outdoorsman and advocate for responsible, science-based wildlife management. He brings an understanding and love of wildlife, hunting and agricultural to the position.
?Mr. Justensen has been an important part of SFW from our beginning when he helped organize sportsmen who gathered on the steps of Utah?s capitol to express frustration with Utah?s then dwindling hunting opportunities,? said SFW Founder Don Peay. ?He is a passionate warrior for sportsmen and conservation of wild places and wild things. His efforts and influence have been in play on the western wildlife front for more than two decades, and our membership can expect many additional and significant contributions from him in the future.?
Mr. Justensen has helped raise over $13 million for Utah wildlife alone ? money that has been committed to on-the-ground projects to specifically benefit big game, upland game and fishery resources. Among his most recent accomplishments is an ongoing $360,000 SFW investment in a pheasant raising program designed to augment wild populations of the birds and give youth hunters throughout the state opportunity to experience pheasant hunting as he did as a young hunter.
Most recently Chairman of the SFW Fulfillment Committee, Justensen has successfully led a team of extremely dedicated hunters in the development and execution of a wide variety of programs and initiatives to protect and enhance wildlife populations.
?The success of SFW?s programs has been possible only through partnerships with local and state wildlife and land agencies, private landowner and livestock associations, and other non-profit wildlife organizations ? partnerships Troy has helped foster and maintain on behalf of SFW,? said SFW Board Chairman Dave Woodhouse. ?I have worked closely with him for fifteen years and have every confidence in his abilities to get things done for SFW and wildlife.?
Mr. Justensen will be responsible for ensuring the success and growth of SFW and it's various programs, subsidiaries and ventures, including 17 local chapters, the annual Western Hunting and Conservation Expo, Arctic Red River Outfitters in the Northwest Territories of British Columbia and the Full Curl Society.
