Barry Williams

Co-Founder
Hiking My Feelings

Hailing from New Hampshire, Barry grew up in the outdoors and has hiked most of the White Mountains and Presidential range, in addition to various walkabouts around the US. Before Hiking My Feelings was a thing, Barry was a professional skydiver for more than 16 years. He didn’t do tandem skydives, he taught people how to skydive by themselves - a feat that requires deep trust, clear communication, and compassionate instruction. Combining a degree in psychology from the University of New Hampshire, his experience as an educator and his training as a Wilderness EMT, Barry is uniquely equipped to lead hikes, facilitate educational programming, and ensure everyone’s safety in the outdoors at events.
