​Barry has been married for 26 years to his lovely wife, Megan. They have one son, Isaac, who is in the 12th grade. As a family they are committed to ministry and serving the Lord wherever He calls.

Barry loves to fish, golf, drive his tractor, eat pizza and watch sports of any kind. What brings him the greatest joy in life? Time with family, ministering to youth and serving the community... and nachos... a big plate of nachos.

Barry would love to talk with you, maybe over coffee, on the golf course, in a boat fishing, or anywhere you want to chat. Just call or text him: 785-331-5215
