My name is Jayson Brewer. I have been an Adjunct Professor in the Construction Management program since 2017. I am also a graduate of both the AS Degree Program and the Certificate Program here at COC. I am currently a Director of Construction for a construction company. I have spent 30 years in the construction industry building single family residential, multifamily residential, mixed use, and commercial facilities. I have dedicated my professional life to the wonderful industry of Construction and Construction Management. I worked my way up through the industry and took a lot of time to finish my college courses. I grew up moving around a lot.
