Derek Sadowski

After formative years building bridges, roads and underground utilities, Derek, left the construction industry in 1988.  He joined A.G. Sadowski Company as a producer and later – after three decades of hard work – gained ownership of AG Sadowski Company.  Derek has dedicated his career to helping his contractor clients achieve their goals and educating young people as they join the construction industry.  He has helped the Oregon Department of Transportation with contractual insurance requirements and advised the Associated General Contractors of America on preparation of amicus curiae for the Oregon Supreme Court.  He is a member of the AGC and the NW Underground Contractors Association.  Derek lectures courses in construction bonding and construction insurance at the Oregon State University School of Civil and Construction Engineering.

In 2004 the State of Oregon presented Derek with a certificate of appreciation for his contributions working with the Department of Administrative Services.  He has been recognized by the National Association of Women in Construction for his volunteer work in the NAWIC Block Kids Program.

Derek and his wife Julia have two sons, Sean and Max.
