OWEN ASSOCIATES - Key Persons

Dan Neville brought his skill in production carpentry, custom millwork and remodeling. He got his start as part of a construction crew building Havenwood in Concord, NH. Attracted to the precision required by carpentry and the sense of satisfaction involved in working with wood, he has gone on to build a 35-year career marked by quality and customer satisfaction. His work with Owen Associates has allowed him to develop additional skills in barn restoration, supervision and general contracting.

Derek Owen was skilled in restoration of barns and other post-and-beam agricultural buildings. In addition to his reputation as an organic farmer and state legislator, his expertise in dry-masonry stonework and stone wall building makes him the stuff of local legend.

Kevin Gardner learned dry masonry and the stone wall building from Derek. In the past four decades he has built or repaired hundreds of walls as well as town pounds, walkways, ramps, bridges, wells and foundations. He has written extensively on the topic of dry masonry and stone walls and been featured in magazine articles and books on the subject.
