Idaho big home builder ‘we’re pushing’ to build amid house shortage
Corey Barton, president of Corey Barton Homes, one of the Treasure Valley’s largest home builders, got his start in a decidedly unconventional way. He helped his mother, Sharon Kirkemo,build a home when he was a teenager. Barton, 51, graduated from Capital High School in 1985. He dreamed of racing motorcycles professionally but quickly learned it cost a lot to pay his own expenses as he tried to build a reputation.
