Hi, I'm Dave Barrett...

This is my family:  my wife Karen and our sons Jake and Luke.  I moved to Reno in 1973 and graduated from Reno High School and the University of Nevada, Reno.  During college, I was a wilderness ranger with the Forest Service in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area of Idaho.  After earning my  bachelor's degree in Industrial Arts Education, I taught woodshop in a local middle school.   Later, I managed the Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch, a very nice guest ranch north of Sun Valley, Idaho.  After several years at the ranch,  and at the invitation of my uncle who is a large commercial and residential developer in Kansas, I joined him to learn the building trade.  Upon returning to Reno, I started my own construction business, Dave Barrett, Builder. 

We have the good fortune of living in one of the greatest locations on earth.  Reno gives us access to many enjoyable outdoor activities.  I am sure you will want to take advantage of all the activities Northern Nevada has to offer.

I look forward to meeting you and feel that when you choose to build, I will make the construction of your home a satisfying and stressless experience.
