Duffy named MCAA Connecticut State Chairman

Words: Mason ContractorsJohn F. Duffy, CPE., Executive Vice President of Acranom Masonry, Inc. (Middlefield, Conn.), has been appointed to the position of MCAA Connecticut State Chairman.

Originally from Shantallow, Derry City, Northern Ireland, John emigrated to the United States in 1990 with his wife, Sadie. Taking his background in the building trade with him, John has since broken records with his groundbreaking approach to masonry, working his way up from being a bricklayer to the Vice President of a multimillion dollar company.

Acranom Masonry is one of the largest union masonry contractors’ in the USA with annual sales averaging $20 million to $35 million dollars and a bonding program of $100 million dollars. As company Vice President, John and his staff constantly manage and oversee 10 to 15 major construction projects with approximately 50 to 200 or more union field employees.

John has been married to his childhood sweetheart, Sadie Nash, for 34 years. “Without the full help and support of my wife Sadie, I would never have been able to pursue and develop my career so far in masonry,” said Duffy.

The Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA) and our members welcome John to his new role.
