In 2018, Barry started his own company in Madison called the Breese Terrace Group after serving in a variety of roles in the real estate industry. His company handles in-fill development in Wisconsin and advises a variety of organizations on real estate development and investment, with an emphasis on integrating hospitality into mixed use settings.

Upon joining the board, Barry became well-versed in the variety of CPED professional development programs that are available to the community.

Barry finds it rewarding to know that CPED is directly providing support back to the Wisconsin School of Business. He shares, “I am very impressed with the quality of programs and the entrepreneurial spirit of the staff.”
