In the 1970s, he earned a master's degree in psychology from Western Connecticut State University, in Danbury.
Barbaro worked as a chemist for the Navy, the Army, and the Commerce Department, and as a customs agent for the Treasury Department. He also served as a professor of chemistry and biology within the State University of New York system throughout the 1960s to the 1980s.
After working as a chemist and instructor at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, he retired in 1988. Barbaro held several patents. He was an emeritus member of ACS, joining in 1951.
