It took Barry 25 years of working as an executive producer before finally stepping into the venture of storage hunting.
In his tenure as an executive music producer, Barry played a vital role in pushing forward the careers of Justin Timberlake, Backstreet Boys, ’N Sync, Britney Spears, and more.
His humorous remarks on “Storage Wars” became one of the defining traits of the show. His interest in the antique collection business is not one that grew overnight. He was into it from a very early age.
His career as a music producer made him able to become a globe-trotter for a few years. However, the sun eventually came down on the gusto he experienced in travelling across the world.
It is when he stopped being a traveller that he wholeheartedly started pursuing his ardour for antique collections. Barry himself admitted to making less money than the other cast member of “Storage Wars.”
The reason behind that was Barry’s innate desire to keep the items he scored by being victorious to himself.
