Todd Kaufman
Owner
Todd is an enterprising entrepreneur and the founder of CDA. He established the company in 2001 after attending an equipment auction where a dump truck and paver first sparked his interest in the industry. After researching the local market, Todd recognized a clear need for a locally owned and operated paving company in the Coeur d’Alene area and decided to pursue the opportunity.
Building the company required determination and sacrifice. In the early years, Todd learned how to accomplish a great deal with limited resources, relying on persistence, creativity, and hard work to move the business forward. His dedication to his vision, tenacity, and strong business acumen have been key drivers of the company’s continued success. Todd also believes that great companies are built by great people, and has surrounded himself with experienced industry professionals who have helped fuel the company’s steady and impressive growth.
Outside of work, Todd has a deep appreciation for the outdoors. He loves spending quality time with his wife and children. He is an avid hunter and outdoor enthusiast, pursuing adventures in every season. He is currently working toward completing the North American Sheep Grand Slam, a challenging accomplishment that requires harvesting four wild sheep species across North America.

Owner
Craig joined CDA in 2004 after long-time childhood friend Todd Kaufman invited him to become a partner in the growing company. At the time, Craig was living in Alaska, where he owned and operated a successful excavation business. The opportunity to return to his roots in Coeur d’Alene to help build a strong local paving company made the decision easy.
Craig brings more than 26 years of experience in excavation, grading, and paving. His extensive field knowledge, combined with a creative mindset, has played an important role in shaping the company’s continued growth. Craig has a natural ability to see possibilities and develop ideas that help move the business forward while maintaining the high standards the company is known for.
For Craig, business is about more than projects; it’s about people and community. He believes strongly in giving back and uses the company’s locally owned platform to support the region whenever possible. This includes donating materials for projects that benefit local causes, helping create ADA accessible pathways, hiring veterans, and supporting other local businesses.
Outside of work, Craig enjoys spending time with his wife and children, and taking full advantage of the outdoors through boating, camping, hunting, side-by-siding, and snowmobiling.
