Tom Deines, TNT's CEO, has been around construction all of his life, officially starting in the business in 1979.  His father worked as a carpenter, general contractor and commercial project superintendent for 42 years, specializing in high quality craftsmanship and innovative construction methods.

Tom often “helped” his dad nailing down flooring and roof sheeting beginning at the tender age of 4 and maintained a healthy interest in the construction trades for the rest of his life.  He decided to enter construction as a carpenter apprentice in 1979, graduating to a carpenter Journeyman and happened onto an unexpected opportunity in 1982 beginning his career in construction management.  Tom was blessed to be in the right place at the right time, work with some very talented people, and be given opportunities to “sink or swim” as he climbed the ladder in responsibility and breadth of projects.

Beginning as an Office Manager, then progressing to a Project Engineer, Superintendent, and Project Manager, Tom also spent considerable time in Safety Management and Quality Control Management.
While finishing his apprenticeship, Tom also went to school 4 nights a week and earned his Associate of Science Degree in Business Management.  Subsequently, he went back to school and took additional coursework in math and science subjects related to his chosen field.

Joining the Construction Specifications Institute in 1993, Tom served in a wide variety of positions, including Editor of the Chapter Newsletter for 3 years, served on Membership, Certification, Technical, Program and Nominating Committees, then went on to various leadership roles including Chapter Director, Treasurer and President.  Following this he became the Northwest Region Industry Director, followed by a term as Industry Vice President on the National Board of Directors from 2003-2007.  From 1998 through 2002 Tom was the construction author for an on-line monthly column for CSI titled “Team CS”. 

Along the way, Tom also served 4 years on the Institute Technical Committee and was the primary author of the Construction chapter of the CSI Project Resource Manual.  Tom also has Construction Documents Technician (CDT) and Certified Construction Contracts Administrator (CCCA) certifications from CSI.

Tom spent the first 3+ years of his career working in the trade in commercial construction, followed by 10 years in construction management in heavy/highway/infrastructure, specializing in bridges and hydroelectric construction.  This was followed by another 4 years in construction management in commercial, custom residential and design-build.  In his most recent role, Tom has spent the last 25 years in construction management, safety management, quality control management, estimating and proposal writing / management for heavy / highway projects, specializing in bridges, sound walls, retaining walls and other infrastructure projects.

 Over the years, Tom has earned a wide variety of certifications and training including:

• OSHA 10 Training
  
• OSHA 30 Training
  
• Forklift Operator Certification
  
• AGC Safety Training
  
• OCAPA Concrete Quality Control Technician (QCT)
