Barry Montgomery has worked for Crutchfield since the crack of the millennium, and currently serves as the Catalog Editor for Home Audio/Video. He studied English and psychology at Indiana University and received a master's degree in English literature from the University of Virginia. His strangely variegated employment history includes supervising a psychology research lab, writing and editing publications dedicated to finance companies and real estate investment trusts, and managing a record store. In his spare time he enjoys reading; listening to a wide variety of music; watching classic, independent, and foreign films; and assembling audio collages from antiquated spoken word sources and other found sounds.
