Raised in an agricultural community and working on his family farm formed his passion for agriculture. Barry graduated from Arkansas State University with a Bachelor of Science and Agricultural Business. He has 25 years of banking experience, ranging from Commercial Lending, Agri Lending and Market President.

Barry is married to Courtny, and has three boys, Davis (21), Reece (19) and Beau (13). Courtny is a School Counselor at their local Middle School.

Being from the duck capital of the world, it goes without saying they enjoy the outdoors, especially on a lake somewhere.
