Tom McEvoy

CEO


Former President of High Concrete, a leading manufacturer of prestressed concrete, and U.S. Plastic Lumber, a producer of HDPE deck profiles.

After graduating from Williams College, Tom spent 24 years with Armstrong World Industries in various executive positions in Hong Kong, London and the U.S. While at Armstrong, he earned a MBA at Emory University in Atlanta.
