Segment 2, September 16th, 2023
What’s the background of a Charlotte-area businessman? He may work with a business that you know, maybe he works with your property, or your family. Maybe you grew up with him or went to his school. However- you probably don’t know one of his passions over his life and career & how the directions within those passions came about.
Walter Bridgeman is the owner of Remedics Restoration Carolinas. He purchased that business in 2016. Although he takes care of properties that have had water, fire, mold, smoke damage he began a resume of adventure years before.
Introduced to the outdoors growing up in Charlotte through Scouting & a NOLS course while attending UNC – Chapel Hill, it was a Boy Scout trip the introduced him to mountaineering.
On this segment we’ll learn Bridgeman’s story of Divine Intervention. He’ll be telling this true, autobiographical account at Storyteller’s Night at Jesse Brown’s on Thursday, September 21st, 2023. Bridgeman will be joining Tom Blocker telling his story Fast Lane & Gracy Ly & Marty Ohlhaut with their family saga, Tent for Seven.
We’ll learn about some of the mountains, the dangers, the fears, and the fun. A few of the mountains discussed & climbed are Ranier, Baker, Denali, Mt. Blanc, Grand Teton, Washington in the winter, & Pico de Orizaba.
Note: Bridgeman has shopped in all the outdoor stores that Jesse Brown’s has had since 1971. In fact, Bridgeman thought the SouthPark-area was far away from Cotswold. Now it seems so close to get to Jesse Brown’s.
