Personal
Barry is the father of two girls and a boy. When he is not working, Barry finds time to write poetry and the occasional short story. He is president of the Alabama State Poetry Society and was Alabama's Poet of the Year in 1999, and is the author of two award-winning books of original verse. For years Barry adamantly refused to write a form equipment lease in rhyming iambic pentameter but has recently succumbed to pressure. It is available "free of charge and worth every penny."
