As a lifelong resident of Oakland, CA and graduate of Skyline High School of the OUSD my life experience, success, failures, and accomplishments are all closely related to my upbringing in Oakland. My Grandfather was the 1st black man to buy our 1st family home in Oakland on 54th Street. My family legacy of being a proud and productive Oakland residents and members of the community has continued to be a driving force in my life and spirit allowing me to overcome past mistakes leading to felony convictions through participating and excelling in local workforce development programs that allowed me to further my career in Construction Management through hard work, dedication, and education. I received my Professional Certificate in Construction Management from UC Berkeley Extension graduating with a 3.7GPA. Since 2008 I have worked on and oversaw various high profile Government funded Construction
projects totalling in the Billions in contract value including The Laguna Honda Hospital Replacement Project, BART's Earthquake Safety Programs - Transbay Tube Retrofit and West Oakland Station Projects, and Muni's Central Subway Project to name a few. I am passionate about serving and bettering my community through service. And look forward to serving in any and all capacities I am deemed qualified for. Thank you for the opportunity and your time and attention in regards to this matter. I hope to hear from you soon.
Best Regards, Brandon Hemphill
