Barker Bio
Years of Experience: 1 year
High School attended: DeLaSalle High School
College and Major: University of Minnesota, Business & Marketing Education
Why Saint Thomas Academy? I believe in the mission of Saint Thomas Academy as the lone all-boys Catholic school left in the Twin Cities metro. It's a great institution with a storied history (both academically and athletically) and I'm proud to be a part of it. Getting to Coach under Minnesota basketball legend Khalid El-Amin is a great privilege and treat as well. I'm very grateful to be here.
A fun fact about yourself: Though I played football for the Gophers, basketball was always my first love. Played on the 2018 Twin Cities Pro-Am team "Errol Carlstrom Playaz" alongside NBA players Royce White, Rashad Vaughn, and (now in the NBA) David Roddy. We made it to the championship game before falling to Tyus Jones' team in a heartbreaking loss.
Family: Wife, Laura. Daughter, Ara
