We had the good fortune of connecting with Ted Hermesman III and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ted, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
Personal Excellence everyday.

To be the best I can for myself and my family. We fall down but get up and the tortious wins the race.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Father started Ted’s Rental & Sales, Inc in 1971. It is a family business with my son TJ now operating it. We are a hometown rental store that has thrived on customer service and being a pillar in the community. The fourth generation is starting to work here now. We are here because we put in the work. It is everyday with a focus on our customers
Anyone can do this but it takes a lot of work and effort. No secrets just hard core focus

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
First I would take them to my house. I live in an amazing house in an area that is proof that God has made the most amazing creations. We would explore the Durango Silverton Train, Silverton, Ouray, Purgatory Ski Resort, Mesa Verde, and we have some amazing restaurants in this area. This is truly God’s country.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First, want to say Thank You to my supportive wife Irina. Second, my Dad! He started it all and gave me the work ethic to keep it growing. Third to those such as My Church, Durango Fire and Rescue, and Animas Mosquito Control District that have allowed me to give back to my community
