MICHAEL BARR
CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER
Michael Barr is Chief Operating Officer for Blackharpe. He has spent nearly every waking minute for the last year and a half studying and understanding the blockchain ecosphere, and how this technology can improve the world. From gaming to voting to philanthropy, Michael believes the potential for the blockchain to improve many aspects of our lives is incredible. Michael worked as an Emergency Medicine Physician for 16 years. He recently retired from medicine to devote more time to trading the crypto and legacy markets because he saw such a tremendous opportunity. Now more than ever he is convinced that blockchain technology is the future and he continues to grow and learn everyday. He is excited to be part of the Blackharpe team that continues to build great partnerships and projects in the space and is working tirelessly to be an integral part of the future of blockchain technology. When not physically in the office Michael enjoys spending time with his family and friends and playing outside in as many ways as possible. Whether it’s running through the forests in Oregon or just playing catch or soccer in the backyard with his son, Michael is happiest sharing the joy of life with others.
