Bio
Shad Larsen
Russ brings tremendous versatility to a team or project. For a period of time Russ worked on my team and I always could count on him to take even the most ambiguous of requests and and help create a vision that the team could execute against. Often times his strengths balanced my own weakness, and the sum total of our contribution working together was amazing. Simply put, Russ made me a better leader through detailed planning and thoughtful feedback. Russ is one of those people that you reflect back on, and look forward to the opportunity to work with again.

Russ was one of my best clients so far. He's very easy to work with and has a clear vision of what he wants, but still allows for good ideas to surprise him. I appreciated my time working with him, and hope to work with him more in the future.
