Meet Your Neighbor

Meet the Humphries family! Connor, Miranda, their daughter Phoebe, & their pup Grover live on Woodley Rd. Connor purchased the home in Sept. 2018 & initially lived there with roommates. The next year, Miranda and Connor met on a blind date and, as they say, both knew right away they had met the person they would marry! Their wedding was planned for April 2020, but with a shutdown looming, got married in March, just before everyone was asked to stay home. After making the decision on a Friday, family and friends helped make their wedding happen on Saturday!
Connor is from Lewis Center. After graduating from The Ohio State University, he wanted to stay close to downtown Columbus, but be closer to home. He found the home in Minerva Park, thought it was a great location, & liked the charm of the village. He is a software developer for WebPresented and enjoys working from home—especially now, as it allows for more time with Phoebe.
Miranda is from Cincinnati and also graduated from OSU. She was one of the founding team members of BARK’s Columbus office. She is a software engineer, and after over eight years with BARK, she now spends her days full-time with Phoebe, born in Aug. 2023.
The couple enjoys the village’s history, the sense of community, & living near other families with young children. Connor has been staying informed by listening to the Council recordings & is the newest member of the MPCA committee!
They love hosting gatherings at their home, from OSU football watch parties to their Dwell Church Bible study group. Stop by the west end of Woodley to check out their outdoor viewings of the OSU night games this season!
Fun facts: Connor and Miranda are big music fans and enjoy seeing live music. Miranda’s favorite artist is Adele and she’s hoping to see her live soon for the second time. I say hoping because she had tickets to two canceled shows; one was in London and was canceled after she arrived! One of Connor’s favorite groups is Vulfpeck and he also enjoys music festivals like Bonnaroo. They hope to share their love of live music with Phoebe…when she’s a little older!
