Barbara is married to her high school sweetheart, Jim. Having both grown up in military families, they loved the opportunity to put down roots as they raised their own family. They joined Metro North in 2002. They have two adult sons that grew up attending Metro North. One lives locally and one lives in Georgia with his wife (who also grew up attending Metro North) and their son. Barbara is the executive director of Metro North Church, but especially loves being the director of Metro North School. Barbara has a degree in elementary education.
