I have been the president of Hyde\nMedical Supply for almost five years now. We are a small local company and\npride ourselves in serving our local community as we would our own family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am passionate about outdoor\nadventure. I am a skydiving instructor; I take people on skydives and teach\npeople to learn to skydive. I am also into mountaineering, rock climbing and\ntravel often for these adventures. Married to Tonya who is my shadow. Tonya is\nmy right-hand woman and keeps things going when I disappear or get hurt on my\nadventures. We have a daughter named Jordan who is one of the most caring\nloving persons I have ever met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are third generation entrepreneurs. We have done real estate investment our entire lives. Once flipping houses and now buying to hold for long term rental. Tonya makes appointments to show properties and sign leases. I was once a professional photographer for over a decade and photographed as many as 50 weddings a year at one point. In 2008 when the digital storm took over, we exited the photography market and went into video games. We had a successful video game store for almost a decade and when ObamaCare stripped the profit out of healthcare we decided it was time to get into the local healthcare scene and figure out how to make a failing home medical supply business to thrive again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/nyglamour.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20201005_182827-1024x853.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8953\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nyglamour.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20201005_182827-1024x853.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nyglamour.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20201005_182827-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nyglamour.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20201005_182827-768x640.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nyglamour.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20201005_182827-696x580.jpg 696w, https:\/\/nyglamour.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20201005_182827-1068x889.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/nyglamour.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20201005_182827-504x420.jpg 504w, https:\/\/nyglamour.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20201005_182827-1920x1599.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What are your\ncompany\u2019s priorities at Hyde Medical Supply? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Daniel\nWarden:<\/strong> We are\ncontinually focusing on our local customers and how we can serve them better. Due\nto the nature of our business our prices are not really controllable insurance\npays what they will pay, and people&#8217;s deductibles are what their deductibles\nare. So, the only place we can really excel is in our customer service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What projects have\nbeen your favorites that you have been a part of and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Daniel\nWarden:<\/strong> As an investor I\nactively look for smaller companies who need a little help to make it to the\nnext level. Having been a struggling small company for the first half of my\nlife I understand the struggle and hope to be able to recognize other people\nstriving equally hard in their Journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am an investor in Alpha Expeditions\nand consider this a project worth supporting. I believe the founder of the\ncompany Matt Ward is a real go-getter and I believe in their mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What other\nprojects are you involved in?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Daniel\nWarden:<\/strong> Real estate\ninvesting (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dollarcannulaclub.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.dollarcannulaclub.com<\/a>).
