Barry Farley, Director of Maintenance

I was raised in a small town in Barber County, Kan. My family moved to Wichita, where I graduated from Northwest High School. I worked in service stations, went to school as an automotive mechanic, worked in construction, and spent 20 years at Bombardier (Learjet) in the engineering and I.T. departments. I started part time at Fountainview before becoming full time, and then Director of Maintenance. I enjoy the satisfaction of repairing things that do not work and making them usable or improving their appearance. I like the facility because of the community members’ appreciation of my work, and it feels like a small community.
