About Us

RODI [row-dee] is the passion project of so many family, friends, and loved ones. The owners and employees adore the town of Loveland, which provides an idyllic background with its picturesque historic downtown and beautiful winding river. We are forever grateful to the incredible guests who have shown unwavering support since the opening of RODI in February of 2021.

Our Founder

Jo Beyersdorfer

Proprietor

Jo Beyersdorfer grew up in Madeira, Ohio and attended Ohio University where she earned her degree from the College of Honors Tutorial in Dance for Choreography and Performance, while also training as a Pilates instructor. After earning her degree, she moved to Los Angeles (pretty much just to live on the beach) and founded JNB Marketing & Events which she ran for 12 years, primarily producing events in the startup/entrepreneurial/tech community. Some of these events included Silicon Beach Fest, Social Media Week LA, and Crypto Invent Summit; Jo also cofounded events such as the original LA Startup Week. Despite focusing on event production and management, Jo kept an involvement in restaurants and developed a passion for good food and fine wine. At the urging of her younger sister, she began looking for a restaurant space ‘back home’ in Cincinnati, and the seed for RODI was planted.
