Bio
Leah Tallman
I worked very closely with Russ when he was managing the store in Fort Myers. While he was manager the store was negatively impacted by damage to the leased space. Russ did an outstanding job taking on duties to repair the space that most managers never have to face in their entire career. It was a pleasure working with Russ. I would definitely recommend Russ for any assignment that requires initiative and critical thinking.
