The sun is just beginning to rise, and Reynolds Bickerstaff is on his early morning run through one of Columbus’s many historic districts. It’s one of his favorite ways to start the day. As the sun climbs higher and the layers of darkness are lifted, the distinctive charm of each older home is revealed.
On a single street, Reynolds jogs past a Craftsmen-style bungalow next to a Spanish mission-style home, a late Victorian alongside a Georgian Revival. As this talented businessman sees it, the true measure of quality in these homes is in their unique character and exceptional craftsmanship, which have withstood the test of time. It’s no surprise to learn that Reynolds feels the same way about measuring the quality of a person’s character—especially his own.
The Measure of Character
From the time he was quite young, Reynolds was raised to believe that a person’s character is always best measured through the values and ethics he or she upholds. The lesson didn’t come only from home and school. Between the ages of six and 17, Reynolds spent a month each summer at a camp that reinforced this philosophy by rewarding responsible and ethical behavior as much as teamwork and camping skills. “You had to complete a number of steps,” he remembers. “Every year I looked forward to the next one. To finish them all was a great honor and a tremendous accomplishment, and the lessons I learned in the process are still a part of my life today.”
