After graduation from UCLA, Barney started in the financial services industry in 1979 and by 1984, attained the rank of vice president with his first company. Having built an extensive sales organization, Barney was nationally recognized and became a member of the company’s first two All American teams. After a change of management and philosophy, Barney made the difficult decision to leave and join a new startup in 1989 as senior vice president and within nine months was promoted to national sales director, having added over 1,500 advisors within his first 18 months.

As a founding principal of HBW in 1991, Barney is proud to offer an extraordinary company with an extraordinary staff well-equipped to problem solve for individuals, families, associates and business owners alike, well into the future.

Whether guiding associates, clients or corporations toward a more secure future, his enthusiasm and determination have been a trademark. Barney’s personal philosophy is simple: NFL Hall of Fame receiver, Raymond Berry, always played his heart out in every game in order to give the fans that bought the tickets and watched on TV their money’s worth. He realized that he was able to play the game he loved because of these people. We have taken the same approach at HBW in serving our clients. We love helping people accomplish their financial goals and strive to earn and keep the trust of our advisors and their clients, which they so truly deserve.

Barney and his wife, Bonnie, support multiple charities, including missionaries overseas and locally, the Young America’s Foundation and St. Jude Children’s Hospital, a remarkable organization to which we encourage all who can to give.
