Russ has deep roots in the local construction industry. After a few years working in management for his uncle’s large sitework business, Russ teamed up with one of central PA’s premier luxury custom home builders as the managing partner responsible for the day-to-day operation of the business. In that role, he quickly found that his passion was working directly with his clients to design and build their dream home within their desired budget. Russ spent the next several years guiding his discriminating clients through the home building process from an empty lot and a blank piece of paper to a beautiful new home. With each home being different from the next, his organization and attention to detail proved to be valuable skills. Focused on building each house with the utmost integrity, Russ not only built homes for his clients, but strong connections with them and most of those relationships, both personal and professional, continue to this day.

Russ and Jennifer Hollister worked together with many of those clients, and after the housing bubble burst in 2008, Russ decided it was time to step out of new construction and joined the Jennifer Hollister Group as a Realtor.

Russ is a relationship person, which is to say that he enjoys getting to know his clients, and having fun in the process. His vast knowledge and passion in both design and construction continues to be a huge asset in his business as a Realtor, especially for clients who are considering new construction.

He is also a successful real estate investor who has built and manages his own residential rental portfolio, making him a valuable resource for both new and seasoned buyers desiring to acquire and build their own passive income portfolio.

Throughout his life, Russ has been known for his character, integrity, passion and drive, and he puts all of those traits, along with his extensive experience, to work for his clients to help them achieve their real estate goals.
