ABOUT OUR TEAM
…
Josh Batkin
President, CEO
Josh was born and raised in Vanastra, Ontario, and has over eight years of trailer and mobile home building experience. During the height of the pandemic, Josh saw a need in his community for affordable housing. He decided (along with his best friend, Paul Arts) that something needed to be done, so they put their building skills to good use.
Josh currently lives in Clinton, Ontario with his wife and three children.
Paul Arts
Vice-President, COO
Paul was born and raised in Vanastra, Ontario, and has been building homes for 10+ years. Along with Josh, Paul began investigating the tiny home concept and quickly saw how it could provide sustainable and affordable housing options for the residents of Huron County.
Paul currently lives in Vanastra, Ontario, with his wife and three children and runs his own business, Arts Building Solutions.
Jacqueline Boyd
Office Administrator
Jacqueline is originally from Toronto, Ontario but recently moved to Huron County to be closer to the beautiful beaches of Lake Huron. She has worked in an admin role in many capacities and is excited to be a part of the burgeoning tiny home community.
