I am a lifelong resident of Oak Forest.  I am married with 4 children and live in the home I grew up in.

I am a graduate of St. Damian Catholic School, Marist High School, and the University of Illinois, School of Business.

I am involved in the community coaching several of the local youth sports programs such as Oak Forest Raiders (11 years), Oak Forest Warriors (11 years), Oak Forest Girls Softball (7 years), Oak Forest Baseball (4 years), St. Damian Girls Basketball and Volleyball.

I have been in the mortgage industry for over 18 years and have helped hundreds of families achieve the American Dream of homeownsership.  I write a blog related to the mortgage industry at www.BarkerBlog.com.
