Tom (TJ) Givens

Tom joined Hancock Lumber in 2005 and has been at the Casco Mill during all 18 years of his tenure. Tom started his journey here as a Pine Manufacturing Pro in the Planer Mill. It did not take long for us to see his talents and he soon became one of our key planer operators. Tom is very gifted mechanically and, after serving as a very efficient operator for several years, he moved into the finished products maintenance role, where he has grown his talents and become a big part of our success. Today, Tom services all the finished product departments including the planer, moulder, ProFinish facility, and kiln + boiler. With his continued training, Tom has become very efficient troubleshooting electrical and PLC issues. In 2023, he trained and sat for his high-pressure boiler license and passed with flying colors. No matter what the task is—from electrical, mechanical repairs, project planning, or fabrications—Tom is our go-to guy in the finished products departments. We are very happy to have Tom as part of our team and are honored to name him the 2023 Employee of the Year! Great job and thank you for all that you do!
