Barry is the owner and founder of Dutch Pinball, a pinball manufacturing company. He is the primary decision-maker responsible for production, manufacturing decisions, and customer communication, notably serving as the license holder and lead manufacturer for the Back to the Future pinball machine expected to release in 2025-2026. Over time, Barry has navigated company restructuring (including Yart's departure and subsequent ARA involvement), faced criticism for production delays and poor communication with customers, and has been working to scale production by hiring additional staff.
