Bo SparksPresident & Co-Founder

Bo Sparks is a native of East Tennessee.  He knows the mountains like the back of his hand. Being involved in the construction industry for over 35 years, Bo has built more than his share of log homes.

Bo founded Custom Timber Log Homes because he saw the need for a return to doing business the old-fashioned way: where honesty was essential and your handshake was your word.  His solid reputation, both for his skill and his integrity, speaks for itself.

Bo lives in Maryville, TN, with his wife, Mary Ann. He has two sons and four grandchildren.

“If you don’t have time to do it right in the first place, how will you find time to fix it when it breaks?”– Bo Sparks

This was the guiding principle upon which Chris founded Custom Timber Log Homes.  And, it isn’t going to change.

Mary Ann Sparks
Mary Ann SparksAccounting and Office Diva
Mary Ann was born in Alabama, but we try not to hold that against her. She has lived in Tennessee long enough that now her blood runs orange–Go Vols!

Mary Ann is unseen by the public most of the time, but she is instrumental in helping keep things running in day-to-day operations. We certainly couldn’t do it without her. You will hear her friendly voice most of the time when calling into the office, as well.
