With a strong origin and a bit of an old fashioned edge, The Clyde is named after two very important characters in my life’s story. Donald Clyde Adams Junior and Senior, or more commonly known as my Dad and Grandpa.

My Dad is an amazing human being, and I am blessed to be able to learn from him every day. He has been my strongest motivator since the day I was born, consistently encouraging me to be the best version of myself that I can be. He has tested every limit I had and pushed me over every boundary I have created to help me grow into a strong woman with the capability to accomplish anything I put my mind to. He has instilled this drive in me to succeed and to do it all for the glory of God.

My Dad has dedicated his life to two things: his family and his business. You hear a lot of stories about how people who run a business end up sacrificing their family life, but I never experienced that.  Somehow he built his work from the ground up while being at every parent-teacher conference, coaching all of my basketball games, cheering at all of my volleyball games, planning every one of my birthdays, and more. Oh, and did I mention there are three of us daughters? Looking back, I don’t know how he did it, but he did. As I grew up and experienced other people’s upbringings, I realize how blessed I am. My dad is one of a kind, and I wanted some way to honor his legacy for years to come. So much of who he is now is how I want The Clyde to be seen. A strong and reliable entity that is committed to making your visions come true.

Another important piece of the puzzle is my Grandpa, also known as Poppy. I hope that everyone has the pleasure of meeting him and my Grandma Betsy one day. If you ever need confirmation that true love exists, then you need only two minutes around these two to be reassured. They have been successfully married for 70 years and counting! As they say, they love each other, but after all this time they still like each other, too. That alone is a wonder of the World. My Grandpa’s faith, wisdom, and love are what I hope to channel to all the people who walk through the doors of The Clyde.

Family is very important to me. It’s that bond that grounds me and helps me to stand firm in who I am and what I want to accomplish. When you come to The Clyde, it is my goal to make you feel as welcome as my own family would be. I hope that you will be relaxed and trust that The Clyde is a place where your plans and visions can come to life!
