OMB STAFF AT A GLANCE

WE ARE HERE TO SUPPORT YOU & THE BUILDING INDUSTRY!

Angela White - Executive Officer

In 2008, OMB snagged Angela from her work in community transportation. Since then, she has held several positions at OMB, including Membership and Government Affairs. Most recently, she was promoted to Executive Officer.

When she’s not overseeing all things OMB, Angela loves spending time with family (including her dogs and cats), being outdoors, and taking fun local excursions. With a kid in sports, she is spending a lot of time cheering these days as well! A Washington State native, Angela grew up on a wheat farm in eastern WA.

Brianna Bedell - Events Director

As a farmer’s daughter from Odessa, Washington – a small town best known for its German Festival, “Deutschesfest” – Brianna’s first work experience started alongside her twin sister and her dad on the wheat fields. After college, she started her career in the hospitality industry at Red Lion Hotels, which quickly transpired into the event world, where she has worked for over 20 years, including nine years as OMB’s Event Director. Brianna’s favorite things to do are going to the beach and spending time with her husband and 6-year-old daughter.

Her passion for design, social media, and chatting up strangers in line at the local coffee shop, make her the perfect fit as OMB’s Communications Director.

JESSIE SIMMONS - GovT Affairs DIrector

OMB welcomed Jessie to the team in July of 2022. He came immediately from the world of local politics, having managed campaigns at various levels over the last 8 years and even running for office himself in 2021. Jessie is also a combat veteran, having served nearly 8 years in the United States Army and spending stints in Washington, Hawaii, South Korea, Kuwait, and Iraq. Jessie comes to us originally from Fort Worth, Texas, where he spent time as a Glazier and put windows in skyscrapers among several other roles. When Jessie isn’t voicing his concerns to local governments about the obstacles they create for our builders, he is spending time with his family. He has three kids ranging in age from 12 to 18 years, and a wife that works for the State of Washington.

Rodolfo Bonilla - Office Administrator

Originally from Mexico city, Rodolfo started his professional career in mortgage administration. After leaving the industry and spending a couple of years in hospitality management in the greater Cancun area, Rodolfo moved to the United States in 2019.

Rodolfo spent his first couple of years living in Los Angeles. He made his way up to the PNW, joining the OMB team as their office admin in 2022. And, while he misses the sunny California weather, he definitely doesn’t miss the traffic. When he is not working or in the office, Rodolfo can be found spending time with his dog, at his local Applebee’s or napping.
