About Darren Tehven
Darren Tehven was one of the first students to graduate from the Construction Management program at NDSU and was recruited in his senior year for a role at Black & Veatch in Overland Park, KS. In 2006 he moved on to Burns & McDonnell, and most recently to APEX Power & Process Solutions.
Darren kept close ties to the NDSU community and was often sent as a recruiter to NDSU Career Fairs to scout out top talent for internships and full-time positions. He was also an avid Bison football fan and traveled to Fargo for an occasional Homecoming game, and to Frisco, Texas for the Division Championships.
