Meet the Lesco Family: Faith, Fun, and Fairways on Saint Raymond Way
New to Red Tail, Josh and Celeste Lesco—along with daughters Emmie and Cora—are embracing community life with laughter, music, and plenty of family time.
Family Members: Josh, Celeste, Emerson (Emmie), and Cora
Pet: Primo – their sweet 1.5-year-old female Tabby
If you stroll down Saint Raymond Way, you might catch the cheerful sounds of laughter, music, and maybe even a spontaneous dance party coming from the Lesco household. Josh and Celeste, along with their daughters Emmie and Cora, are among Red Tail’s newest residents — and they’re already feeling right at home.
From Ohio to Alabama and Back Again
Josh grew up in North Ridgeville, and Celeste is originally from Brook Park. The two met in Ohio, but soon after getting married, life took them south to Birmingham, Alabama, where both of their girls were born. After nearly seven years in the Heart of Dixie (and stops in Columbus and Avon Lake before that), they made the move back north to the Cleveland area in 2021 — shortly after Cora’s arrival.
Josh attended The Ohio State University, while Celeste graduated from Huntingdon College. Today, Josh works as a Senior Supply Chain Manager for Avient, and Celeste is a Customer Service Excellence Analyst with IMCD.
Everyday Adventures
The Lescos love spending time together, whether it’s family dinners at home or backyard hangouts overlooking hole 8 of the golf course. Josh is an avid golfer and sports enthusiast — if there’s a game on, he’s watching it — and he also enjoys basketball, football, and taking care of the lawn. Celeste enjoys streaming medical or crime dramas, and together they love winding down with family movie nights, dance breaks, and sing-alongs with Alexa.
As a family, they’re big fans of game shows and musical movies — The Greatest Showman and Wicked are top favorites. Recently, Top Gun and Happy Gilmore have been on repeat, and the girls have even developed a soft spot for some ’90s classics like The Sandlot and Little Rascals.
Favorites
- Restaurants: Mesquite and Chipotle — anything Mexican!
- Vacation Spots: Florida and the Florida Keys. The family loved their first cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Utopia of the Seas. Josh and Celeste also honeymooned in Cabo, though a Category 4 hurricane (Hurricane Odile!) made that trip one for the books.
- Sports Teams: Ohio State Buckeyes, Cleveland Cavaliers, Guardians, and Browns
- Music: Country — perfect for those family dance breaks!
Family Life & Traditions
Emmie and Cora both take swim lessons and participate in ballet, and the Lescos make it a priority to enjoy family dinners together each night. Faith plays an important role in their lives; they currently attend St. Peter’s in North Ridgeville but will soon be joining Holy Trinity.
Life at Red Tail
The Lescos moved to Red Tail at the end of May 2025, and they’ve quickly embraced everything the community has to offer. Josh has already joined as a golf member, and Celeste hopes to pick up the sport soon — they’re both looking forward to a little “mom and dad time” on the greens.
“The golf is great, of course,” Celeste shares, “but what really makes Red Tail special are the people. Everyone has been so warm and welcoming — we couldn’t have made a better decision for our family.”
They’re especially thankful to have Nana and Papa (Debbie and Chris Kovacs) living just down the street — a bonus that makes Red Tail feel even more like home.
Say Hello!
If you see the Lescos out and about — or relaxing on their patio overlooking hole 8 — be sure to stop by and introduce yourself. “We love meeting new families and making connections,” Celeste says. “Please feel free to say hello or grab a drink with us anytime!”
Welcome to Red Tail, Lescos — we’re thrilled to have you in the neighborhood!
