“We are happy to introduce our newest additions to our Duluth team,” said Tom Stoneburner, TKDA president and CEO. “We are also very pleased with the quality staff we are able to attract to our growing office in the Northland.”

TKDA is currently expanding its office space in the Technology Village in downtown Duluth. The company’s in-house professional staff has designed a new floor plan and interiors to house a growing team of engineers, architects and support staff.
