Founder & CEO

Barry founded Optimum Water Solutions in 2014 with a mission to promote healthier workplaces through clean, great-tasting water and exceptional customer service. Today, that purpose continues to guide everything we do.

Drinking water, also known as potable water, is water that is safe to drink or to use for food preparation. The amount of drinking water required to maintain good health varies, and depends on physical activity level, health-related issues, and environmental conditions.

About Barry

After spending 24 years in his family’s business, Jones and Brown, which became the largest independent wholesale distributor of building products in the Northeast, Barry was ready for a new challenge. He relocated from Pittsburgh to Florida and quickly saw the opportunity to bring a better drinking water solution to businesses.
In 2017, Barry was proud to welcome his son, Zachary Snyder, to the company full-time, continuing a family tradition of working together and building businesses rooted in service, trust, and long-term customer relationships.
