MEET COLUMBIA WATER - Brian Fenderson

How long have you been with the City of Columbia and what do you do?

As of December 2024, it will officially be seven years. I have been in the wastewater business for 22 years. Currently, I’m the maintenance supervisor, it’s my responsibility to manage the day-to-day operations and maintenance tasks.

What is something interesting about you that we wouldn’t learn from your work bio?

Once upon a time, I mentored youth, volunteered at food pantries, and volunteered at homeless shelters. On a more personal note, I wrote poetry and attended open mic nights.

What’s the best experience you’ve had working for the City of Columbia?

The people I’ve met in my journey with the City. The shared laughter and experiences.

Bond or Bourne and why?

Bond! I wish I was in his place when Halle Berry was a Bond girl.
