Originally from Shantallow, Derry City, Northern Ireland, John emigrated to the United States in 1990 with his wife, Sadie.

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.
