About the teacher:
Rhett Harkins (he/him) has been a Price Hill resident for 15 years. He and his wife purchased their current home, built in 1886, in 2010 for $5,600 and thus were thrust into the expansive world of home renovations. In 2013 he and his long-time friend and business partner began Red Door Management in hopes to improve historic homes in the neighborhood and provide spaces for Cincinnati residents to be proud of. As the mission became a reality, "RDM Services" was born as a division of Red Door to help homeowners see the full potential of their living spaces and continues to operate today. Rhett believes that our living spaces can be a reflection of both the individuals that inhabit them, and the community of which they are a part.
