David Andersen
Chairman of the Board
David grew up around construction, working his teen years in the summer for the contracting business his father started in 1950. But, instead of heading for a construction job-site following high school he spent the next five years traveling the Northwest playing bass in a rock ‘n’ roll band. Realizing rock ‘n’ roll stardom wasn’t his calling; he enrolled at Oregon State University in the Construction Engineering Management Program (CEM). After graduating from OSU in 1980, he joined Andersen Construction full time. At that time Andersen was mainly an industrial and retail contractor. After becoming President in 1988, the business expanded into healthcare, high-tech, and multi-family housing markets, and today guides Andersen Construction’s overall vision as Chairman of the Board.
