Purpose

Not a trend. Not a shell. A name built to hold what matters.

Barich Holdings is designed as a quiet, durable stewardship layer: one structure for operating companies, patent-pending systems, designs, applications, published works, side companies, digital property, physical property, and future assets.

The aim is not noise. The aim is continuity. Protect the work. Preserve the memory. Build what can outlive the builder.

To the world, Warren M. Barich was a builder, inventor, heat-treatment pest-control pioneer, and the man many knew as the “Bugman.”

To his family, he was an incredible husband, father, and grandfather. He loved the Wild West, oldies television, fishing, road trips, drawing, and painting. He was always creating, tinkering, improving, and looking for another idea worth trying.

His adventurous spirit carried his family to every state except Alaska, leaving a lifetime of shared memories. His storytelling sparked imagination and made ordinary moments feel larger.

Most of all, he loved his family. He sacrificed, protected, provided, and put their happiness and well-being above his own.

Barich Forever.

Current President

Jerry Barich, son of Warren M. Barich.

Jerry Barich serves as the current President of Barich Holdings. His work carries forward the same pattern that defined the Barich name: field reality, invention, practical systems, hard work, writing, and tools that turn ideas into operating assets.

The current stewardship layer connects SlabWorx, Programmable Physical Reality / PPI, CloseRail, publishing, and additional asset holdings into one long-term family structure.

This page intentionally avoids turning family legacy into a sales funnel. Its purpose is identity, record, and stewardship.

Next generation

A page reserved for the steward who comes next.

Barich Holdings is built with generational time in mind. When the next generation is old enough to choose its role, a dedicated page can be created to reflect that person’s work, character, and stewardship—not public exposure before its time.
