Brian Knudsen
Senior Vice President of Preconstruction
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, Project Estimator, and eventually serving as Andersen’s Chief Estimator before his role as President of the Portland office. His passion for details and innovation is demonstrated in his new role, as Senior Vice President of Preconstruction. With four children, two grandsons and one granddaughter, Brian appreciates Andersen’s family culture.
