I have had a passion for log homes for almost as long as I can remember.  Because of that passion, I've spent years studying log homes and the options available to customers.  I decided I wanted to take that passion and knowledge to help others build their dream home.  It was important to me to represent the best in the industry.  After much consideration, my husband and I decided Barna Log Homes was the company we wanted to represent.

Barna prides itself on a top quality product with competitive prices. Unlike most log home companies where the distributors are provided very little training, Barna Log Homes require all distributors attend a week long training in Tennessee.  In addition, all distributors are provided a coordinator available to answer all questions and assist in meeting the customer's needs.  All this adds up to better customer interaction and service.  It is my hope that customers would be able to say that doing business with us was a joyful and a "stress-free" experience.

Like my wife Jill, I also have a love for log homes.  I am a licensed contractor and have always been intrigued by the building process of log homes.  While my wife will be the initial contact for your design decisions,  I will be the follow up for the building process.

I am a licensed contractor and look forward to assisting you  in making this a smooth experience.  I will be available in whatever manner you choose:  Whether it be as a general contractor for the entire job, builder of only the log structure or simply as a consultant, I desire to give you superior service.

In addition to being a licensed contractor, I am also a CPA and graduate of Central Michigan University.  I will be available to assist in the financial realm of this undertaking. 

My wife and I hope with the mixture of our experience and knowledge, you will have everything you need to build the home of your dreams.

Sincerely, Russell N. Auten
