Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle is more than just a catch phrase to Brandon. As a lifelong Oregonian, he believes that these 3 actions can help preserve the beauty and bounty this great state has to offer. Prior to his role as the Assistant Director of Materials Management Services at PSU, Brandon worked at Oregon Health and Science University, where he oversaw their waste reduction and recycling operations. Additionally, he is engaged in the local sustainability and planning community, where he has enjoyed volunteering his time and services with the Association of Oregon Recyclers, Cascadia Green Building Council, International Living Future Institute, and SOLVE. He was awarded his BS in Community Development at Portland State University, and is currently pursuing his master degree in the Executive Master of Public Administration Program at the Mark O. Hatfield School of Government. He also completed the Sustainability Leadership Certificate Program from the University of Oregon. In his free time, Brandon appreciates visiting the splendors of our amazing region with his family. You can often find him lounging along the beaches of the Pacific, hiking trails in the Cascades, or camping in our lush forests.
