He was originally from Boston, Massachusetts and after his athletic career was a sports writer and editor and settled in the Boston area. Duffey competed in the 100 metres event in the 1900 Summer Olympics, placing fourth overall. He won his first-round heat with a time of 11.4 seconds, dropped to 11.0 seconds to win his semifinal, and took an early lead in the final before pulling a muscle in his leg.
