Why Redmond?

Jon Stark
Redmond Director REDI
I live in Central Oregon because…
Lifestyle and proximity to outdoor adventures.  I am also fond of the culture of the Redmond community, it just feels like home. I enjoy weekend camping trips to local lakes in the summer with my family. Can’t beat the commute to or from – 30-40 minutes!
When I’m not working, you’ll find me…
Fishing on the Deschutes or Columbia River or camping and enjoying water sports with my family.
My Central Oregon happy place is…
Paulina Lake in mid-June – the Kokanee fishing is spectacular.
My favorite local beverage is…
I sure enjoy the margarita’s at Diego’s in Redmond!
My closest brush with fame was…
An opportunity to competitively ski race at the national level, but I fell short of a US Ski Team berth.
Ask me about..
How to catch Deschutes River Steelhead, Columbia River Spring Chinook or Fall Salmon or how to make the best sidecar (brandy margarita) on the planet.
