Barry was born July 16, 1965 in Tucson, Arizona to Ralph and Angie 'Rudolphi' Richard. He was raised in Tucson until he was 13 years old. He then moved to Boys Town in Omaha and graduated from Boys Town High School in 1981. Barry married Thersa and together they had two children, Barry and Brooke, they later divorced. Barry served in the United States Army from 1986 to 1991 and served with the 172nd Transportation Unit during Desert Storm. After his military service he worked at Railcar Specialties as a mechanical engineer and drafter for 17 years. In 2003 he began working for Union Pacific Railroad. In 2010 Barry married Randi 'Peterson' Richard. In the marriage Barry inherited Randi's two children Cheyenne and Lane.
