James Madsen and Family Help the People of Haiti

April 12, 2017 | Blog

James Madsen, owner of James Barton Design Build of Apple Valley, and his family recently returned from their trip to Haiti in December. They traveled to Haiti with members from BATC/Builders Outreach Program to build two homes for families who lost their home last January in the earthquake.

We appreciate all the support we received from family, friends and colleagues.
