Life


Barry O’Brien was born in San Francisco, California, to a large Irish Catholic family. He attended Terra Linda High School, before joining Santa Clara University on a football scholarship, studying business and finance.[1]

O’Brien’s biggest hit is Disney’s Hannah Montana, a concept he successfully pitched based on the premise of an incredibly famous teenager-with-a-double-life, an idea conceived during a tenure on Nickelodeon’s television series All That, where the (then) teenage American pop singer Britney Spears featured as a guest.[2]

Aside from writing for television, O’Brien co-wrote Jerry Bruckheimer’s Kangaroo Jack,[3] and two junior novels. He currently resides in Los Angeles, with his wife and two children.
