Barry Shelby was born in 1960 in Berkeley, California, where he later attended the University of California. He moved to Scotland in 1997, where he has worked as a caretaker for a small and privately-owned castle on the Clyde Coast, as a 'temp' with the privatized national railway company, and as a food and drink writer and editor for newspapers and magazines, including the Guardian, Glasgow Herald, and The List. He is married to a Scot and presently resides in Scotland's Western Isles after a decade living in Glasgow.
