Barry started Aikido in 2013. Originally searching for a way to blend mind and body, Barry was drawn to the philosophy, physicality, and the fundamental nature of Aikido.
The fundamentals are what drives him to teach. Students inspire him as much as he hopes to share Aikido insights with them. As a caregiver, Barry strives to use Aikido fundamentals to help people keep their balance, stay safe, and be happy.
Barry was awarded his Fukushidoin certification in 2018 and was promoted to SanDan in 2025.
