In this first episode of 2025 of the WB Download, Jeff Wieland sits down with client and longtime friend Kathy Wyenandt to discuss her journey of building a custom dream home and balancing a life filled with family, career, and community activism.
Kathy shares her story, from growing up in Cincinnati and meeting her husband, Jimmy, at Miami University, to navigating the challenges of raising four children and managing a thriving family logistics business. She opens up about her passion for politics, detailing her involvement in local and state campaigns, and reflects on how those experiences shaped her commitment to community.
Jeff and Kathy dive into the details of designing and constructing her forever home Mulberry Ridge, a project that began in 2019 but faced delays due to COVID-19. Kathy highlights the unique features of her house, such as a custom bar, multiple offices, and a pool mudroom, as well as her hands-on approach to the design process. She praises Jeff’s dedication to communication, trust, and quality craftsmanship, noting how the journey strengthened their bond.
This episode is a celebration of collaboration, creativity, and the enduring friendships that are built alongside dream homes. Don’t miss this inspiring conversation!
