Secretary

Brandon Bartow, Bartow Builders, Manitowoc
Brandon Bartow started his career in the home building and remodeling business 20 years ago while growing up in Belmont, WI.  Working for a roofing and siding contractor gave him a test of building while attending high school and college at UW-Eau Claire. 

Working for two builders in the Manitowoc area, he felt a true desire to start his own business with his wife Jacque’s help.  In 1999, Bartow Builders began to operate in Manitowoc County.  Bartow Builders has grown to employ 10 full time and 2 part time employees.

Brandon has been a very active member of the Manitowoc County Home Builders Association, serving on almost every committee and the Board of Directors for 9 years.  Brandon feels he is the one who has benefited by being a part of the local association.  It has allowed Bartow Builders and its employee’s education, networking, and sales opportunities.  Brandon has been recognized as a leader of his association serving as president in 2005 and receiving Builder of the Year in 2003 and 2008.

Being involved in the Wisconsin Builders Association has become a passion for Brandon.  In 2006 he was asked by Senior Officer leadership to chair the Membership Committee for the WBA.  With help and a great amount of effort, Brandon and his committee worked to increase membership by the largest ever annual increase. Brandon also chaired the Government Affairs Committee at WBA in 2010. 

Brandon, his wife Jacque, son Keegan 12, daughters Morgan 10, and Tatum 7, reside in Manitowoc County.  In his free time Brandon enjoys vacationing with his wife and family, reading, entertaining guests, coaching his children’s sports teams, and just being a Dad.  Passionate about the community in which he lives, Brandon also volunteers for Big Brothers Big Sisters, his church building and grounds committee, Rebuilding America, The Heart Association, and numerous community projects.
