    Early Life, Military Service, and Career Beginnings

    Alex Webb was born on February 1, 1978, in Monroe County, USA. Raised in a rural setting, he developed a strong work ethic early in life, crediting much of it to lessons learned from his father. After high school, Alex served in the U.S. Army, gaining discipline and life perspective before attending Columbus State University in Georgia.

    Following his military service, Alex worked nearly nine years as a conductor and locomotive engineer for Norfolk & Southern Railroad in Bluefield, West Virginia. Due to the coal industry’s instability, Alex faced repeated layoffs and eventually began looking for a new path. One day, after watching an episode of Barnwood Builders, he decided to send an email to Mark Bowe with the subject line: “Do you need any help?”

    In a well-documented moment of timing, Mark received the email just as he was writing a job post from his truck in a Lowe’s parking lot. Minutes later, he called Alex. After a brief trial period, Alex officially joined Barnwood Builders in 2016.

    Journey on Barnwood Builders

    Between 2016 and 2021, Alex appeared in approximately 100 episodes of Barnwood Builders. He quickly gained respect among his peers for his reliability, work ethic, and willingness to take on new challenges. While he was relatively new to timber framing, Alex had hands-on experience from building a sawmill with his father.

    In a 2016 interview with Greenbrier Valley Quarterly, Alex humorously remarked that he was “still waiting on Mark to tell me I was hired.” During his time with the crew, he contributed to notable builds such as a one-room schoolhouse in Franklin, West Virginia. His work on the show also took him across the country—from the Rocky Mountains to the plains of Texas.

    Why Alex Left the Show

    In a 2023 public testimony, Alex reflected on how life on the road and the spotlight eventually took a toll. While he enjoyed the experiences and the people he met, the constant travel led to unhealthy patterns and a desire for deeper meaning.

    His perspective began to shift when he met Jessie, who would later become his wife. “When I found Jessie, I found a best friend, a business partner, a wife. But most importantly, I found a Godly woman,” he shared.

    With a renewed sense of purpose and spiritual direction, Alex decided to leave the show in 2021. He and Jessie went on to launch Webb’s Joinery and Construction LLC—a business centered on restoring historic structures and passing down traditional skills.

    Wife and Children

    Alex is married to Jessie Webb, born in 1993. The couple is raising their daughter Reece, born on September 29, 2011. Alex often shares parenting moments online, particularly how he teaches Reece woodworking, gardening, and other self-sufficiency skills.

    He also has an adult son, Matt, from a previous relationship. In 2025, Alex expressed pride in Matt and his wife Abby, who both completed nursing school. “We are so proud of them,” he wrote. “I cannot describe how much it means to watch their dreams come true.”

    The Webb family resides in Pearisburg, Virginia, where they manage their restoration business and promote a faith-centered, hands-on lifestyle.

    Alex Webb’s Net Worth

    Alex Webb has not publicly confirmed his earnings, but his net worth is estimated to be around $400,000. This figure reflects his years on Barnwood Builders, where he filmed nearly 100 episodes, and his current business in historic restoration and custom woodworking.

    He continues to work on restoration projects, build furniture, and share his craftsmanship with clients and fans across the country—all while emphasizing the importance of integrity, faith, and practical skills.
