A third-generation ironmonger, Ashley McBride carries on her family’s legacy as project manager of Gaspar & Co. She began at age 3, sorting Baldwin Hardware keys in her grandfather’s office.
People May Not Know: There is an ice cream shop named after me.
A University of Tampa graduate, McBride first taught in Hillsborough County and in private Christian education before returning to her roots in ironmongery. Today, she specifies hardware statewide for leading interior designers in a field where few women hold such expertise.
