Edward Orrick McDonnell Barry, Sr., is a successful businessman and entrepreneur from Colorado. The father of three has been writing as a hobby for many years. His humorous poems and poetic tributes have been enjoyed for decades by friends and family alike.
An avid sports enthusiast, Edward is an expert skier, fisherman and equestrian. His love of the outdoors was instilled at an early age by his parents and family. A family that he was adopted into.
Edward’s grandfather and namesake was tragically killed when Edward was only three weeks old. This left it up to his mother Betty to teach him about this remarkable man.
Admiral Eddie: The Story of America’s Greatest Naval Aviator, is a biographical narrative about Edward’s maternal grandfather. This collection of stories came from tales his mother would tell him when he was a child. As a young man the author promised that someday he would write down these stories and share them with the world. His first book Admiral Eddie is a fulfillment of that promise. It should be available on this web-site, as well as in bookstores early in the summer of ’22.
Edward currently resides in Denver with his wife Renee. He continues his love of the outdoors by fishing, gardening and travelling. Look for his blogs and keep up to date with him on Facebook and twitter. Enjoy!
