MEET THE CREW

Tim Barry the founder of My Michigan Roots is a passionate small business owner who pours his heart into his work. He taught himself the art of screen printing to create custom apparel that reflects his bold and adventurous spirit mixed with the love of his home state. When he’s not managing his shop, he’s chasing the thrill of the outdoors with his wife Kelly, soaring through the sky on his paramotor, catching the wind kiteboarding, or riding his motorcycle down winding roads in search of new places to explore. An avid hiker, he finds joy in discovering nature’s hidden treasures, and he lives with a deep love for Christ that grounds everything he does. His faith fuels his purpose, his work ethic, and his desire to live life fully, always balancing dedication to his business with the freedom and wonder of the world around him. Tim is also a USPPA Certified PPG Instructor, offering foot launch, tandem and trike training as well as “exploratory flights” through his company Vagabond PPG. If you see him out there, be sure to come say “Hi”!
