Meet Birch Golf Classic Community Trailblazer Bryan Kelley. If you like construction industry, or are simply construction-curious, then add Bryan to your team!
Bryan is the 2026 Chair of the Associated General Contractors of America’s Building Division and the 2025 Associated General Contractors of Washington President. AGC of America was created in November 1918 at the request of U.S. President Woodrow Wilson to help mobilize the construction industry for World War I. It currently has almost 30,000 member companies, representing millions of construction industry workers across the country.
Our state chapter – the AGC of Washington – is Washington's largest and oldest commercial-construction trade association and has regional offices in Bellingham, Fife, Olympia, Seattle, and Yakima. AGC of Washington has more than 600 member companies – including this tournament’s sponsor, Birch Equipment.
Bryan was raised in a construction family in Maine and moved to Washington State in 2002. He is Senior Vice President at Howard S. Wright – a commercial builder and part of the international Balfour Beatty family of companies – and Chief Legal Officer of its Northwest Division. Before joining HSW, Bryan was a partner at the construction law firm Oles Morrison (now Smith Currie Oles) where he advised regional and national construction companies on business and legal matters, repeatedly receiving the designation “Rising Star” from Washington Law & Politics Magazine.
Outside construction, Bryan serves various community organizations including Seattle Children’s Theatre, where he is President of SCT’s Board of Trustees. Bryan received his undergraduate degree from Vanderbilt and his law degree from Pepperdine.
He’s been hitting the range and is ready to play golf for a very good cause!
