In his senior year he decided that education was his goal and finished his degree at Bridgewater State College in MA in 1990. Coach Barrett relocated to Sarasota, Florida a few years after graduation to accept a job as a PE teacher there. He worked there for a few years then decided to try real estate full time. During this time he met his wife Sandy and they married in 1997. Two years later their son Ryan was born. Coach Barrett continued real estate for a few more years then decided he missed teaching which brought him to GA. He interviewed in both Douglas and Carroll Counties and felt most comfortable when he visited Sharp Creek Elementary. After 2 years there, he was notified about and opening here at Whitesburg and immediately transferred. Coach Barrett is in his 12th year at WES.
