Bryce Redmond on a hike at Mt Hood

Bryce A Redmond

I am a 27 year old man who grew up in the Columbus suburbs but moved to Southeast Ohio several years ago. I graduated from The Ohio State University in 2021 with a Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering. Throughout my time in college, I worked every weeknight as a Package Handler at the Columbus FedEx Ground hub. I enjoyed the job and for my final two semesters, I was promoted to an Operations Manager role, where I discovered my love of polo shirts and greatly improved my ability to be a part of and lead a team. It was during this time that I set my sights on someday building my own house, and I am now finally following through. From designing the home in AutoCAD and Revit, to building it with nail guns and circular saws, I have done everything on my own; with some help from my dad. You can see pictures and read about my progress here, and I've included some of my various other projects, as well.

My Home Build

In April of 2023, I found myself on the steps of the county courthouse for a tax sale. I was there for the first two properties, but after losing out on those and seeing no one bidding on the final property, I decided to take a chance. I didn't know what we were buying, but this is what awaited me. While others seemingly only saw problems, I realized the massive opportunity that had been gifted and decided to do something productive with it.
