President
Barry opened the doors to PROS in the spring of 1988. His work experience before starting PROS included working in the sales and engineering departments of Vic Manufacturing, one of the largest manufacturers of dry cleaning equipment in the US.
One of his projects at Vic was to open a parts sales division called Imparts that helped support dry cleaning equipment that was imported from Italy and Germany. Previous to his work experience at Vic Barry studied Engineering at the University of Colorado. Over the years, Barry guided PROS Parts as the company began manufacturing dry cleaning machinery and added the support of laundry parts to the company’s activities.
Barry now lives in Eden Prairie, Minnesota with the love of his life, Katie. He has two college age sons Sawyer and Colton and a dog named Sora. Both Sawyer and Sora are integral members of the PROS Parts team. Barry is an avid downhill and cross country skier, and also likes to snow shoe, kayak, hike and travel. Barry enjoys music from the 70s and 80s and more recent bands like One Republic, Coldplay and Imagine Dragons.
Barry can be reached by calling 763 231-7379.
