Our Team

Bobby is the Co-Founder and Owner at Barndos Direct, where he leads the creative build process and serves as a subject matter expert with over 20 years of hands-on build experience in the home, barn, porch, and garage spaces.

Starting his career alongside his father remodeling homes as a young man, he later worked in roofing and barn construction, gaining experience in a variety of roles until becoming a General Foreman. In 2015 he started working independently and in 2016 launched his first company, Gammons Construction — a step that paved the way for modern day Barndos Direct.

As an Owner who wants to be involved in every facet of the customer experience, Bobby believes in creating more than structures — he creates homes with purpose, simplifying the process on every build. At the heart of his work is a commitment to quality, transparency, and service. Barndos Direct is a "kingdom company" built to serve people with excellence, while honoring God in every word and action.

When he's not onsite or mentoring his team, Bobby enjoys playing ping-pong and pickleball, helping run the Jamestown Youth Center, and spending time at his little farm with his wife, two boys, horses, cows, chickens, and dogs.

Born in Florida and rooted in Tennessee since his teenage years, Abraham is deeply connected to his local community. He has been actively involved in church and youth ministry for many years and continues to invest in his community through mentorship and faith-based leadership. He is also part of his local martial arts academy, training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and encouraging others to pursue discipline, confidence, and personal growth.

A true outdoorsman, Abraham enjoys farming, homesteading, and spending time in nature. His personal mission behind Barndos Direct is to provide customers with clarity, transparency, and peace throughout the home-building process. He strives to eliminate unnecessary stress by setting proper expectations, communicating every step of the way, and delivering a high-quality build with integrity.

Starting his career as a carpenter, Brad brings a background rooted in physical, hands-on construction as well as construction operations, project management, field supervision, scope development, scheduling, quality control, and trade coordination. He works with field teams, subcontractors, vendors, and internal departments to identify gaps, solve problems, improve accountability, and create repeatable processes that support the clear and consistent execution of construction projects.

Brad's operational philosophy is centered on building the systems, teams, and personnel needed to support both today's projects and future growth. He believes strong operations require important information to be identified early and carried forward clearly through each stage of the build. He also believes people should be equipped to perform their roles well while working in an environment that supports continued growth and career development.

Brad's leadership is shaped by faith, conviction, and an absolute commitment to success. He believes leadership means carrying responsibility faithfully, developing people & teams, solving problems, and continuing to strengthen the structure a company needs for future success.
