Barry has been dedicated to public service in multiple career paths, embarking in 1992 on a distinguished career with the Holden Fire Department. He earned an EMT certification shortly thereafter and was promoted to Lieutenant in 2005.

He was promoted to Truck Foreman in 2006, to General Foreman in 2016, Assistant General Manager in 2018, and to General Manager in 2021. His commitment to Public Power extends beyond his local roles as he has actively participated in numerous mutual aid efforts across the United States and the US Virgin Islands.
