Barry

A native of northern Colorado, Barry transplanted to the PNW in 2017 and has been enjoying all it has to offer ever since. As a child, there was always an inner voice drawing Barry towards caring for animals of all types and after losing his job during the Covid-19 shut-down, he finally listened. An opportunity to work in an ER presented itself, and he jumped in to a career in veterinary medicine! He quickly fell in love with emergency medicine, caring for all those fur babies and their humans during the stressful, scary times they needed it most. The ER and Urgent care became a second home as he worked as Triage and Lead Assistant, sponging up as much knowledge as possible while studying to become a Veterinary Technician. In May of 2023, a Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis caused him to take a step back from the floor, and after some time away, he joined the amazing team at Wheaton Way Veterinary Hospital. When he is not working, he enjoys playing Dungeons and Dragons and other fun tabletop games, reading in his backyard, and hanging out with his wife Lilia and their two furry kiddos, Benji and Bailey.
