Brad Barron

Chief Executive Officer, Owner

With his ingenuity, drive, and passion to think beyond the box, Brad has taken Barron by storm since joining the team in 2017. He was quick to shine in each of his roles, spearheading the expansion into full plumbing and electrical services, solar, Barron Technician School, and more. Now as Chief Executive Officer, Brad lives by a servant leadership philosophy—and always with a joke to share. With a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering from the University of Washington (go Dawgs!), he spent a number of years as a Professional Engineer before bringing his experience to the Barron Team. Born and raised in Bellingham, he enjoys spending time outside with his family (wife and three sons) and friends—hiking, boating, skiing, and camping. Brad is a Volkswagen enthusiast and enjoys time behind the wheel of his 1979 Westfalia Camper.

John Barron

Owner, Executive Chair & Coach

No stranger to hard work, John started out working summers in high school at the original Barron Heating warehouse—sweeping up fiberglass insulation in the shop and even cleaning the bathrooms. But closely following in his father and grandfather's footsteps, he became a part-time sheet metal worker for the family business in 1979. And he's been a pivotal part of the company ever since. John became a journeyman and then a salesman, before stepping up as part-owner of Barron when his parents, Dan and Vivian, retired in 1998. John has a personality that is impossible to miss, with an intensity and passion for what he does and for his employees like no other. He never does anything halfway, and has a love for wrestling, skiing, and spending time on the lake and with his family.

Patrick Harrington

Chief Financial Officer

Patrick has the beat on the financial workings behind strong companies, with over 15 years of experience in management and corporate accounting within the hospitality and manufacturing industries. And his knowledge of building and growing a company is reflected in his own experience growing up. Patrick was born and raised in the north woods of Minnesota with no running water or indoor plumbing—talk about appreciating the little things! He worked in Alaska to put himself through school, and received a Bachelors of Science degree in Business Finance. Always pushing himself, he loves competing at most anything. He's an avid golfer and sports nut, and loves spending time with his family and friends.

Rob Takemura

Team Development Director

With a Bachelor’s in English Literature from WWU, years in the construction industry, as well as leading and managing a number of businesses under his belt, Rob has a wide range of experience to share. He joined the Barron crew in 2021 and fit like a glove, overseeing the ins and outs of Barron’s four divisions. In true Barron fashion, family is everything to Rob. He loves spending time with his wife, kids, and grandkids, and feels pretty lucky to get to work with four of his family members every day. Rob’s also quite the cook—he’s known for barbecuing and smoking food on the regular (YUM!).

Going on 25 years with Barron  and 35 years in the industry, Bryant is an HVAC ace. From his dedication and hard-working attitude to his bulk of experience, he's an obvious go-to here. A Southern California boy, he moved to Washington to join the Barron Team in 1995 and has been here ever since. Bryant is a man of many talents, brewing beer, bowling and rocking a brown belt in Goju-ryu Karate, to name a few. He also enjoys kayaking and spending as much time as possible with his wonderful wife.

Mike Seymour

No stranger to the PNW, Mike moved from Northern California and has been living in Whatcom County since the late 70's. He enjoys traveling the world and creating fabulous meals in the home he and his wife designed and built—looking forward to our invite, Mike!

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Hannah is another true local. With five generations of family on Whidbey Island, the PNW runs in her blood. A University of Washington grad, Hannah's background is in customer service and office management, and she's no stranger to hard work—sandblasting metal parts for her dad's metal finishing company at a young age. Hannah loves snowboarding with her friends and family, going hiking and on dog walks, playing baseball, and enjoying the water—fun fact—she's a certified scuba diver! 

Adam Richardson

David Sperry

Assistant Director of Supply Chain

As Inventory and Supply Manager, David is the kind, composed, easygoing sort of guy who's a go-to for just about anything. Gardening, hiking, biking, cooking, and writing music for guitar and bass are all his jam, as is picking up the ukulele (next up is mandolin). And with a Certified Green Belt in Lean Six Sigma methodologies (working to Black!), he has a noticeable air of responsibility and dedication to boot. With years of management in large retail stores tucked under all those belts, he's a natural addition to Barron's Leadership Team.

Scott Jennings

Warehouse & Fleet Manager

With 20+ years of warehousing already under his belt, Scott joined the Barron team in late 2022. But his wide range of experience doesn't stop there. Scott's background also includes heavy construction management, heavy equipment operation, auto mechanics, forestry, lumber and hardware, grocery, and more. Born and raised in Alaska, he's since lived all over the PNW before landing in Bellingham. Scott loves anything motorcycle, from riding to fixing, and enjoys traveling as much as possible with his wife as well as homebrewing beer.
