Joined Ames: February 2006
Position: Superintendent, Midwest Region
Word of mouth brought Tom Duffy to Ames in February of 2006. Already experienced in the construction industry, Tom worked for Ames as a carpenter foreman and superintendent.
Of the many projects he’s contributed to in his 17-year career at Ames, the one that stands out is one of the most recent: the Sandpoint Junction Connector project in Sandpoint, Idaho. The project constructed three rail bridges, the longest of which is a near-mile-long bridge over Lake Pend Oreille. The size of waves in the water and the deep piling that the bridge required were challenging, but Tom appreciated the freedom Ames gave the project’s crews to get the job done.
In retirement, he’s looking forward to spending more time with his wife, Cheryl, and his kids, and enjoying life after having to be on the road so much for work.
