Johnny Jett’s Bio (Age)

Johnny Jett was born on the 28th of April 1949 in Chicago, Illinois. Not much is known about his parents or the family of his birth.  He grew up in Chicago and during those early years, be became very interested in machines and how they worked. A deep yearning to put this interest into practice led him to move to West Virginia in search of job opportunities that would enable him to operate and work with machines as he could not find many of those opportunities in Chicago at the time.

He went on to work in construction in the Fleming County area of Kentucky. While there, he also worked on the water system of the county. As the 1980s drew to a close and the 1990s began, Jett began to seriously consider leveraging on his wealth of knowledge about machining and construction to go into business for himself. It was around this time that he went into a partnership with his friend, Sherman Thompson and together they launched a business that specialized in dismantling and selling log cabins.

After a few years of these businesses, Jett and Thompson met entrepreneur Mark Bowe who introduced them to his business Antique Cabins Barns and soon enough they began working together.

A few years after beginning to work with Mark Bowe, the Barnwood Builders crew was formed and the eponymous reality TV show followed soon afterward. Other members of the team include Tim Rose, Graham Ferguson, Alex Webb and Brian Buckner who left the show after the second season. On each episode, the crew works to restore an old barn or cabin which very often has been around for upwards of a century and would deeply affect the family or community that owns it if left to wither away.

Johnny Jett is considered the most popular cast member of the show due to his reputation for having enormous creativity and craftsmanship. Despite his age, he works just as hard and often times, even harder than his younger colleagues on the show. The Barnwood Builders show has enjoyed huge success as it quickly became a favorite among fans and Johnny Jett has appeared in dozens of episodes.
