For us, this work is personal.

In a town the size of Wynnewood, we do not think in terms of separate neighborhoods. We are one shared community.

Financial responsibility and community responsibility are not separate ideas to us. By restoring homes in need of new life and encouraging residents to serve locally, we create a cycle of renewal. Homes improve. Businesses gain support. Property values strengthen. Quality of life rises.

That is the kind of investment we believe in.

Miranda has deep ties to Wynnewood. Her grandparents lived on South Long Avenue. Her grandfather worked at the Kerr-McGee refinery, now CVR Energy. Her grandmother cared for others as a nurse, and her mother graduated from Wynnewood High School. The town has been woven into her family for generations.

She remembers summers at the pool, Friday night football games, and long walks through town. Even as a child, she found herself studying the houses throughout town and wondering about their history — who had lived there, what they had celebrated, what they had endured. That quiet curiosity stayed with her.

Redbud Renewal grew from that connection. From gratitude. From the belief that Wynnewood is worth investing in with care.

Jeff comes from a family rooted in the small town of Katy, just outside of Wynnewood, before later moving to Oklahoma City. His grandmother, Ida Mae Baxter, instilled in him a deep sense of kindness and resilience — values he watched her live out every day.

Even after his family relocated, he would return to Katy for family reunions, staying connected to the land and the people who shaped him. Those experiences formed the way he sees responsibility as something steady and lived.
