Out of all the "Trading Spaces: Boys vs. Girls" cast members, it seems that Barte Shadlow has stepped furthest away from the spotlight. After his time on the show, he relocated to the greater San Diego Area, where he served as the managing director for Environs Landscape Architecture, Inc. In 2009, he moved across the country to Allentown, Pennsylvania, where he pivoted into the biotechnology industry. He began working at Thermo Fisher Scientific, holding several roles there over the course of 10 years, including quotation specialist, trainer, and technical writer. 

During his time at Thermo Fisher, Shadlow went back to school, pursuing an advanced degree at Moravian University. In 2018, he graduated with a Master of Health Administration, boasting a 3.88 GPA and membership in the Tri-Alpha Honor Society. Shortly after this accomplishment, he began a new job at ICON Strategic Solutions, a pharmaceutical manufacturing company, where he still works today. There, he holds the title of Senior Clinical Supply Specialist. 

Shadlow's social media shows that he loves spending time with his family — especially in the great outdoors. Photographs of sports games and fun trips abound, as well as snapshots of beautiful sunsets. It seems like he has no problem balancing work and play.
