He was born in North London, where he spent his formative years. Barry's first job in 1963 was as an indentured apprentice instrument maker with the Cambridge Instrument Company. During his five-year apprenticeship he attended the University of Enfield, where he received his engineering certification. He spent six- to eight-month rotations in each department of the company. Barry gained a great deal of experience in how each department operated and functioned. He also acquired an understanding of the different resources, types of people, and skills required for each department to be successful.
Barry joined the American based company, EG&G, in 1976. The company provided advanced scientific instrumentation to the nuclear research industry. He held a variety of management positions during his 28 years with EG&G, including Managing Director of the UK operations, a position he held for over 10 years. In 1997, he relocated to the divisional headquarters in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, as Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
In January of 2003, Barry formed a subsidiary company in the United States on behalf of his friend and company owner, Juergen Stein. The new company, Target Instruments, designed, manufactured, and distributed hand-held nuclear radiation devices for the homeland security market. Based in Oak Ridge, the company grew quickly and was soon the market leader in the United States. The company was later sold to a larger corporate organization.
Barry became a citizen of the United States in 2011-some years after meeting and marrying his best friend, love of his life, and soul mate, Pamela. They live with their three Vizsla dogs, Parker, Reign, and Katie, alongside Merlin, Pam's Paso Fino horse, in beautiful East Tennessee. Barry still likes to travel to the United Kingdom to visit his son Michael and husband Andrew; daughter Joanne and husband Matt; their wonderful grandchildren, Ethan and Henry; and Barry's greatest life buddy, his brother John and his wife, Pauline.
