Lewis David “LD” Bowerman
We were able to present this award today to LD's family at our HS Award's Ceremony!
Hayden High School Class of 1954
Lewis David “LD” Bowerman represents the very best of Hayden and what it means to be a Tiger. Raised during the Great Depression, LD learned the values of hard work, perseverance, and resilience early in life. After graduating from Hayden High School in 1954, he began working in the local coal mines, building the foundation for an extraordinary career through determination and grit.
LD spent 38 years with Kiewit Corporation, eventually becoming President of the Underground Construction Worldwide Division. Throughout his career, he led and oversaw major infrastructure projects across the United States and internationally, including serving as the lead engineer on the Eisenhower Tunnel project—one of Colorado’s most significant engineering achievements. His work helped shape tunnels, dams, hydroelectric systems, and transportation projects that continue to serve communities today.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, LD’s life has been defined by service, generosity, and commitment to others. Alongside his wife Mary, whom he married in 1960, he built a strong family and dedicated himself to giving back. His generous support of the Hayden Center and the Alumni Scholarship Fund reflects his deep love for Hayden and his desire to create opportunities for future generations.
LD’s life is guided by the message he often shares:
“The race of life does not go to the swiftest, but to those who persevere… it’s the final lap—the way you finish—that matters. Never give up.”
