In 2009, he joined the team at Barnes Pharmacy and says, “deciding to come and work at Barnes Pharmacy was one of the best decisions I have ever made.  The staff is absolutely incredible.  I think you would be hard pressed to find any one anywhere else with as good of customer service skills as you find at Barnes.  The customers that do business with us are also fantastic.  They are always very polite and courteous.  I can’t tell you enough how proud I am to be a part of Barnes Pharmacy and a part of the Sterling community.”
