On paper, Mark Bowe is the founder and president of Antique Cabins & Barns. He is the owner/broker of Mark Bowe Insurance Agency, and he is the host of the popular DIY Network series, Barnwood Builders. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from WVU College of Business and Economics and Master of Science in Safety Management from WVU College of Mineral and Energy Resources.

But Mark doesn't spend much time on paper, and may divert your attention from the laundry list of his accomplishments. Mark is simultaneously a fierce businessman and soulful philosopher with a penchant for a good punchline. He is a storyteller rooted firmly in the stories of his own rise, a laborer still cleaning the dirt from his fingernails and a seer with a keen eye for what's next. He may be difficult to follow, always coming simultaneously from the past, present and future, but he might pause long enough to let you get some of it on paper.
