About HS&A

"I've spent my entire career in the rental industry through good times and bad.  Between Gary and I, we've seen over 2,000 rental companies across the nation.   We don't dilute our focus by taking on too many clients at one time or switching between industries based on Wall Street perceptions.  We'll be here long after others have switched to the latest 'hot industry.'  I believe that has been the key to our success within the rental industry."

--Fred Hageman
