Brian Jaramillo spent his first two years after graduating high school working full-time. He then earned an associate’s degree at Chabot Community College before enrolling at Cal Poly Pomona to study engineering technology.

Brian joined Tilden-Coil Constructors, a general contracting and construction management firm, as an intern during his junior year. He was offered a full-time position with the company after graduating with honors, starting his career with Tilden-Coil as a project engineer.

Brian was named Tilden-Coil’s vice president of construction in 1998 and then purchased a minority ownership stake in the company. He became president in 2006 and is now majority owner.

“From intern to president, I was blessed with opportunity I would not have had if I did not attend Cal Poly Pomona,” Brian says.

Brian served as the corporate walk chairman for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Inland Empire Light the Night Walk. He represented the Mission Inn Foundation Board in its bid to secure the land and Father Junipero Serra Cross that sits atop Mount Rubidoux.
