Brian Knudsen
Regional Vice President, Portland
Brian Knudsen grew up in construction and has a genuine feel for what it takes to be a builder. On weekends as a child, he'd visit jobsites alongside his dad, a carpenter. Then throughout college, Brian worked summers framing houses and helping with remodels. After graduating from Iowa State University with a B.S. in Construction Engineering, Brian worked his way through Project Engineer, Project Manager and Project Estimator, eventually serving as Andersen’s Chief Estimator for 18 years. His passion for details and team-first attitude is demonstrated in his new role, overseeing all Portland operations as Regional Vice President. With four children and one grandson, Brian appreciates Andersen’s family culture.
