does anyone know what he does for a living, I'm pretty sure he is not a lock smith he just does all this for fun, but what does he actually do?

Judging from all the travels he does I would assume that is his work. Also, he now has a great opportunity to market a lot of tools of the trade off his blog. If I was a manufacturer of a high end company, say like Wendt, I'd give Barry some tools to play with just so he has some thing to write about on his blog ;)

Seriously, he must get good bucks as a consultant, and guest speaker.

He does get paid as a security consultant with regards to his lockpicking stuff, i.e. physical security stuff. He also is really into crypto (I think that's what he did before TOOOL), and has a product called 'Crypto-phone' that's a nifty looking encrypted cell phone.

As far as I can see, what Barry Wels does for a crust is his own business, by definition.
