THE BARRYS
Rick Barry, VP Programming and Production Business Operations, 34 years at ESPN (retired)
Spencer Barry, Production Assistant, 2 years at ESPN
What it’s like working with your father/son?
Rick: I enjoyed having lunch with my son and driving our Harleys to campus on good weather days.
Spencer: It amazes me how much my father knows about ESPN. I feel like he could rattle off every employee’s name – maybe even their alma mater!
A favorite father/son experience:
Rick: The Disney stars aligned when Spencer started at ESPN on Feb. 4, 2013, 33 years to the day after me. One year later, on February 4, 2014, I retired.
Spencer: From the Super Bowl to the ESPYs to the X Games, ESPN has provided my father and I a lifetime of memories I will cherish forever.
Father’s Day message from Spencer:
Thank you for everything. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without all you have taught me. Mom, Jess and I love you.
