Barry graduated from New Caney High and went on to attend Stephen F. Austin University. After

deciding college just wasn’t for him, he left to begin his career in Home Construction. His father

previously had him work on home construction so he went to Galveston and left a note on the door of a

family friend who was building beach homes asking for work. That began his very successful career in

the Houston area as a Homebuilder. He received many awards and recognition as he climbed the ladder

up to Vice President of a very well-known and respected Houston Home Building Company.

Barry was a very hardworking person. While in high school he participated in Cross Country running and

ran in the Houston full Marathon twice and finished both times. He also participated in the Bike Ride to

Austin for Charity with his father and friends. During his building career he participated many times in

Habitat for Humanity.

Barry loved the outdoors and took full advantage of the beautiful lakes and land that Texas offered to

him and his family. He was an avid golfer and loved to take his Mom along Fish and deer were afraid of

him all over Southeast Texas Most of his favorite stories came from times in Galveston and Lake Travis

trips with his children teaching them how to wakeboard and slinging them around on the tube until they

called it quits. He loved driving his Ford Mustang Convertible briefly started a Mustang Car Club in

Kingwood.
