Meet Tom Hamilton

San Bruno Born and Raised

My parents Lil and Dale Hamilton moved from San Francisco to San Bruno in 1964, and purchased a house in the recently completed Crestmoor 3 development. I was born here in San Bruno and educated in the San Bruno Park school district. I received my Bachelor’s degree from San Francisco State University, and entered the IT industry. I worked my way up in the same organization to the Director position I hold today, designing operations and finance processes in a large and complex healthcare organization, managing a team of 49 talented analysts. In November 2024 I celebrated 30 years with my company.

At the turn of the millennium I met my amazing wife Karen, and we returned to San Bruno in 2005 where we are raising our own family, in that same house on Crestmoor Drive.

I love these knuckleheads.

After returning to San Bruno I wanted to start giving back. In 2007 I volunteered for and was appointed to the Traffic, Safety & Parking Committee, where I served as a committee member and chairperson for 12 years. In 2019, I was appointed to the Planning Commission, where I served until my election to City Council in November 2020. I was re-elected to a second four-year term as the Councilmember for District 2 in November 2024.
