David Brandon is a regent of the University of Michigan and chairman of the board, chief executive officer and manager of Domino's Pizza.
He graduated with a bachelor's degree from Michigan in 1974. While in Ann Arbor, he was a member of the university's football team. [1] Brandon also has honorary doctorate degrees from Schoolcraft College, Lawrence Technological University, Cleary College and Central Michigan University. [2]
Brandon took over Domino's in March 1999 when founder Thomas Monaghan sold it to the investment group Bain Capital. [3] Prior to Domino's, he was the CEO of Valassis. Also in 1998, he was elected as a Republican to the Michigan Board of Regents.
He recently appeared on the third edition of Donald Trump's The Apprentice as part of the finale CEO interview panel.
An avid participant in Republican politics, Brandon had expressed interest in running for the United States Senate in 2006 against Democrat Senator Debbie Stabenow. However, he announced in August 2005 that he would not be a candidate in the 2006 elections.
In the November 2006 election, Brandon -- like other Republicans -- lost his reelection bid. He is widely rumored to be a possible candidate for governor of Michigan in 2010. His term as regent expires December 31, 2006.
