Welcome new Rotarian - Colby Rider!


Colby Rider has worked in various positions at Rider Plastics, Inc., a custom injection molding business located in Salt Lake City, for the past twenty-five years. In his current position as Operations Manager, he oversees production, inventory, shipping/receiving and customer relations.

In his non-working hours, Colby works out at a local gym, spends time with his family and attends lessons and services at both the Sri Ganesha Hindu Temple of Utah and the Krishna Temple Salt Lake City. His current studies there include an in-depth reading of The Bhagavad Gita, one of three books generally considered to compose the Hindu scriptures. Colby is in the early stages of planning his first trip to India with a friend, who is studying to become a Hindu monk under various swamis in India and Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania.

For the past thirteen years, Colby has participated in volunteer activities at Family Promise, which, in cooperation with Our Saviors Lutheran Church, provides a unique shelter model mobilizing existing resources within the faith community to take a hands-on approach to homelessness.
