Jim Wright
FOUNDER, PRESIDENT + PRINCIPAL DESIGNER
Jim has been all over the place, serving on national and local boards and committees throughout the building industry, and collecting many awards for the excellence of his design work. He really listens to the needs of our clients and works tirelessly to deliver beautiful AND functional designs. A man of integrity, Jim truly embodies the values RDS was built on. We’re proud to have him as our founder and leader.
When he’s not working, Jim enjoys relaxing with Regina, his wife of 42 years, his daughters and sons-in-law, and keeping up with his 3 year old grandson. Running, playing, drawing: there isn’t a thing he won’t do to put a smile on his grandson’s face.
