“Brandon’s technical engineering background and project management expertise,
as well as his understanding of the Water Development Office that stems from
years of working with WWDO as a consultant, make him an excellent fit for this
position,” Governor Gordon said. “I look forward to having him at the helm of
the WWDO.”
A native of Wheatland, Wyoming, Gebhart has spent more than 20 years in

includes working on planning, design and construction management on a variety
of projects for the WWDO. He holds a Civil Engineering degree from the

“My background and experience have provided insights into the needs and
responsibilities of water users, providers, as well as state and federal
agencies,” Gebhart said. “It’s important to understand how all parties interact
to put Wyoming’s water to use, as well as recognize the common respect that
each has for this valuable resource.”
