Our Story:
The Barley Group was established in honor of our CEO, Johnathen Houston's late grandfather, Bennie “Ben” Barry Barley. A man of unwavering determination, intelligence, and entrepreneurial spirit, Ben Barley was a self-made businessman whose principles continue to inspire us. His legacy of perseverance and excellence has profoundly influenced Johnathen, motivating him to carry forward these values through The Barley Group.
Johnathen’s deep connection to the healthcare industry began early in his life. Growing up in a family dedicated to healthcare services, he was immersed in the field from a young age. By age 13, he was already contributing to essential tasks such as assembling medical equipment and participating in provider compliance audits under the guidance of his aunt, Sharon Gillum. Sharon, the youngest daughter of Ben Barley, was a healthcare provider consultant whose mentorship was instrumental in shaping Johnathen’s passion for the industry.
In addition to his early experiences, Johnathen pursued academic excellence, graduating with honors from Southern New Hampshire University with a degree in Business Administration. This academic foundation, combined with his hands-on experience, has equipped him with the strategic insight and leadership skills necessary to navigate the complexities of the healthcare consulting industry.
Johnathen’s entrepreneurial drive is also deeply rooted in the influence of his mother, Carrie Jackson. Her encouragement and support were pivotal in fostering his ambition and business acumen, further strengthening the foundation upon which The Barley Group is built.
At The Barley Group, we are committed to upholding the principles of hard work, integrity, and innovation. We strive to be a trusted partner for healthcare providers, helping them navigate the intricate landscape of compliance, licensing, and operational management with the same dedication and discipline that define our company’s origins.
