Wondering what happened to the Storage Wars stars? From Barry Weiss’s life after his accident to Brandy and Jared’s split, here’s where the cast is in 2025.

Where Are the Storage Wars Cast Members Now? (2025 Update)

When Storage Wars premiered on A&E in 2010, few expected it to become one of the most popular reality shows of the decade. The show combined high-stakes auctions, hidden treasures, and unforgettable personalities. Over the years, fans have wondered: What happened to the Storage Wars cast? Here’s where they are now.

Barry Weiss – Where Is “The Collector” Today?

Barry Weiss, known as The Collector, became a fan favorite for his eccentric style and unpredictable bidding. He even landed spin-offs like Barry Strikes Back and Barry’d Treasure.

Before fame, Barry was a successful businessman with degrees from Cornell and NYU. In 2019, he suffered a near-fatal motorcycle accident that required multiple surgeries. Since then, Barry has kept a low profile but recently appeared in ads for Sherwood Valley Casino.

Daryl Sheets – “The Gambler” Who Scored Big

Daryl Sheets earned the nickname The Gambler thanks to his all-in auction strategy. His biggest win? A collection of Frank Gutierrez paintings worth about $300,000 for just $3,600.

In 2019, Daryl was hospitalized with congestive heart failure and wore a defibrillator vest during recovery. Today, he’s healthy and runs Show Me Your Junk in Arizona.

Brandy Pasante and Jared Schultz – Did They Get Back Together?

Brandy Pasante and Jared Schultz were once the show’s power couple. They opened two thrift stores, both of which later closed.

Despite being portrayed as married, they were never legally wed. The couple split before Season 13. Jared is now dating Rochelle Beckman, while Brandy focuses on raising their two children. Brandy also faced harassment from obsessive fans and moved into a gated community for safety.

Brandon Sheets – Life After Storage Wars

Brandon Sheets, son of Daryl Sheets, was a familiar face in early seasons. After being cut from the show in 2017 due to budget cuts, he became a UPS driver. He later survived a serious truck accident and criticized UPS for poor safety measures.

Renee and Casey Nezhoda – From TV to YouTube Success

Renee and Casey Nezhoda joined the show in Season 4 and became known for their sharp negotiating skills. They once ran the Bargain Hunters Thrift Store in San Diego, which closed in 2021. Today, they operate a successful YouTube channel with over 190,000 subscribers and continue selling items online.

Dave Hester – The “Yuuup!” Villain’s New Life

Dave Hester, infamous for his “Yuuup!” catchphrase, was the show’s ultimate villain. He was fired after suing A&E in 2012 for alleged show rigging, but later returned. In 2020, he faced another lawsuit over a disputed shipment. Hester now runs his own auction business.

Other Fan Favorites: Ivy Calvin, Mary Padian, and Dan & Laura Dodson

Ivy Calvin, a former MMA fighter, still appears on the show and runs Grandma’s Attic.

Mary Padian, the “Queen of DIY,” continues her brand, Mary’s Finds, and makes occasional appearances.

Dan and Laura Dodson, the auctioneering duo, still run American Auctioneers despite Dan’s near-fatal aneurysm in 2014.

The Tragic Death of Mark Balelo

One of the darkest moments in Storage Wars history was the death of Mark Balelo, a flamboyant buyer known as “Rico Suave.” In 2013, days after being arrested for drug possession, he died from carbon monoxide poisoning inside his car.

Is Storage Wars Still on TV in 2025?

Yes! Despite controversy over alleged staging, Storage Wars continues to thrive. Season 16 is set to premiere in June 2025, proving that fans still love the thrill of the hunt.
