Brandon Larson, Regional Manager
Background and Experience:
I completed my Bachelors’ Degree in Construction Management in 2001 from Minnesota State University – Moorhead. After working in the industry for 11 years, I completed my Master’s in Construction Management in 2012 from North Dakota State University – Fargo.
Following the completion of my Master’s program at NDSU, I taught Equipment Productivity & Analysis as an adjunct faculty member at Minnesota State University – Moorhead.
In 2022, I completed AGC Advanced Management Program (AMP) training in Dallas, TX with several of my peers.
Upon completion of my Bachelor’s degree from MSUM, I moved to Grand Rapids, MN and began my career working for Rajala Construction Company in Cohasset, MN. I successfully bid, managed, many successful county road projects, along with performing the duties of corporate controller.
In 2006, I accepted an Estimator/PM position with Casper Construction in Grand Rapids. I moved up and managed our public work as a key employee.
I joined Park Construction in 2014 as a Estimator/PM and was promoted to Regional Manager on June 1, 2025.
I presently serve on the Minnesota State University – Moorhead Advisory Board (IAB) and will take over the Chair position in 2026.
Tell me about what your focus areas are at Park Construction
My client focus areas at Park include Government contracting, which encompasses USACE projects, Flood Control work, and DOT projects. I also enjoy building strong, customer-focused, client relationships with each of our stakeholders. One way that I have been able to contribute to Park’s success over the years has been my involvement with our Joint Venture program with Harvey Sand & Gravel, aka HSG Park JV2. Through our partnership with Harvey Sand & Gravel, we have seen a significant increase in government contracting opportunities, and I have enjoyed seeing this program grow as we have strengthened our relationship with Harvey Sand & Gravel.
When it comes to Park, what are you proud of, or what is your vision for the future?
Within Park West (aka Western Group), I am proud of our people. Our group has experienced significant growth and that opportunity would not be possible without the dedication and drive of our employees. Our employees consistently deliver strong results by following Park’s core values of safety, quality, integrity, and teamwork. We deliver these at a high level each day, which results in exceeding our customers’ expectations in the region that we work in.
My vision for the future is to expand our reach down the center 1/3 of the United States and I believe this can be done within the markets that we currently serve. On a regional basis, I see Minot’s flood control work as a continued growth opportunity as several of the flood control project phases remain incomplete.
Hobbies:
I enjoy lake time in the summer and winter, including the many projects that come with maintaining a cabin in northern Minnesota. I also enjoy snowmobiling with my sons near Grand Rapids, MN & Marcell, MN. I am also active in my local church volunteering & serving as a youth leader.
