Jim Fisher, Vice President
A Midwesterner, Jim is a college graduate who is a former sales representative, supervisor, and vice president of marketing.
As a young man, after returning from the service as a paratrooper sergeant and then completing college, Jim immediately went to work for Caterpillar Tractor Company. He was trained in their college graduate’s training program and sent on to Geneva, Switzerland as a sales rep followed by time in Munich, Germany. Back in the states, in Boise, Idaho, he became a district representative.
The next 15 years, Jim went with Wheeler Machinery Company in sales and sales management. He then accepted a position as vice president of marketing with Jack B. Parson Companies (heavy/highway contractor) for eight years. Wheeler asked him back; he accepted and supervised for five years for the introduction of their new products.
Attempting to retire in 2001, he spent a few months as a security specialist for the 2002 Winter Olympics.
He, wife, Penny, and daughter, Stefanie, moved to the Village of Oak Creek in 2003 to avoid any more Utah winters. They are all avid golfers and members of the Oakcreek Country Club.
Mr. Fischer has been a member of the Board of the Village of Oakcreek for three years and has one more years to serve in his current term. He has been the Board representative on the Greens Committee for the past two years. Jim’s area of experience is in construction, grading, land forming and drainage, so the Greens Committee is a natural fit.
