Barry Robert Ozer

Barry Robert Ozer is the father of four children. He decided that he would stay home more when he had his last child. Barry's wife and good friend Richard E.D. Jones made raising babies look easy. So, he figured he would be able to do all the things he wanted to do, work, hang out with his biddies, golf and take care of a new baby. Dude! was he wrong. After two days, he was lost, scared and too embarrassed to tell his wife. So, he asked his best friend Richard for help.

Richard came over and let Barry in on the big secret: babies are tough and you need 100% focused attention to take care of them. Barry wanted an easy answer, a users manual for babies so he could get up to speed. Richard said: "Dude, there is no guide to babies. But there are some things I have learned that I will teach you."

Richard's words stuck with Barry and he convinced Richard that they could write the book about babies that they wish they had. Thus, "A Dude's Guide to Babies" was born.

Barry works for an international financial firm and was an award-winning salesperson for IBM. Barry and his family live in Charlotte, NC.
