Beautiful, funny, and incredibly smart, Jenny came into this world with her twin brother Patrick Barton on February 23rd, 1972, in Wichita, Kansas. Jenny graduated from Garden Plain High School Kansas in 1990, where she played basketball and was also a varsity cheerleader. After graduating high school, she would attend Southwestern College and earn her Bachelor’s Degree, moving forward and complete her Master’s Degree in Human Resource Management. Jenny made her mark on Wichita in multiple successful aircraft careers, but the most remarkable was the start of Sharp Edge Engineering Services.
