Who is Brian Buckner?
Brian may not have been at the forefront of the cast of Barnwood Builders, but he was a unique soul. His appearances were funny, whimsical and took the seriousness out of any issue the team faced. His chemistry with the cast is part of the reason they hired him in the first place.
The story of how the reality star came into show business is intertwined with the pioneer of the show, Mark Bowe. The year was 1996 set in Northeast Kentucky when the former coal miner was new in town and in search of some old cabins to renovate.
His first interaction was with Johnny Jett who had been in the log cabin business for a while. Together with his friend Brian Buckner and Sherman Thompson, also a cast member on the show, Jett formed up an alliance that would live on for decades.
As a businessman and one with a right eye, he showcased the hardworking hillbillies in a short documentary called Down Home. The short skit attracted a lot of attention from different networks who each had a vision on their career in show business. In the end, it was the DIY network that got the contract with the first season aired in November 1st, 2013.
