BIO

Barry Maher is a product of four years at the University of Notre Dame, an hour and a half at the Graduate Journalism Program at U.C. Berkeley, and five befuddled weeks at The Whopper College of the Burger King Corporation. In his misspent youth, he was an award-winning poet (the award was five copies of a xeroxed "literary" publication), his articles appeared in perhaps a hundred different magazines and, in order to eat, he held nearly that many different jobs. Sometimes he lived on the beach. Not in a house on the beach. On the beach. With the sand and the seagulls. 

 

As a speaker, he's told his stories to audniences across the country and around the world: his client list a Who’s Who of multi-national corporations and leading associations. Eventually, that led to the Slightly Off-Kilter syndicated newspaper column and The Great Dick: A Tale of Terror.

 

You may have seen Barry on The Today Show, CNN or CNBC and he’s been featured in publications and websites ranging from The New York Times, USA Today and The Wall Street Journal to, his persona favorite, Funeral Service Insider.

 

We should also mention Barry’s been incarcerated twice. Once for not making a left hand turn out of a left hand turn lane, and once for aiding and abetting a loiterer. He’s deeply repentant.
