Log home builder Paul Kealey

After receiving a B.Sc. Degree from St. Francis Xavier University and a brief stint as a high school teacher, Paul moved to British Columbia to learn the trade of log building.

After a couple years, Paul became infatuated with natural home construction and from that moment he knew, in some capacity, he would dedicate to his life to the sustainable living culture.

Shortly after returning to Ottawa, ideas were shared with Adam Tackaberry and Kealey & Tackaberry Log Homes was formed.
