About Us

Brad Karikomi and Jim Coyle

The Leelanau Log Home Company LLC is owned and operated by Brad Karikomi and Jim Coyle. We established The Leelanau Log Home Company LLC in 2004 after years of planning to work and live in beautiful Northern Michigan. The dream continued when we moved our families to Northern Michigan and became an authorized dealer for CNW Log Homes of America for Michigan and the Midwest.

We each bring different skills and experience to our company. Brad Karikomi retired from a media corporation after 24 years with successful experience is sales, marketing and customer care. Jim Coyle, an army veteran, has been a builder for the past 26 years and has established a reputation for quality craftsmanship with an attention to detail. We believe our diverse background and experience is one of our strengths.

Over the years we’ve helped our customers realize their dream of building a custom log home through carefully listening to their ideas and developing a custom design that fits their lifestyle and budget.

Allow us the opportunity to help your dreams come true.
