Bio
Chris Brennick
Russells instincts are what instantly make me one of his biggest fans. He sees the bigger picture, and finds creative and distinctive ways to execute on that vision. He understands how to position a brand and get a narrative to take root with the right audience. His ability to manage and lead a multi-million dollar build and bring it to life is another quality that sets him apart from people I have worked with in the past. He’s a perfectionist and has a critical eye. For the Fridley brand, his, one-of-a-kind concepts have completely stood out in a big way. Furthermore, every planning meeting we had , I was consistently impressed by his ability to not let any road block distract him. That confidence, backed by his innate talent alone has served him well, but these are even further backed by his impeccable execution. Russell has great relationships in the area and is well respected by everyone in the business – any brand or venture, especially in any luxury project, would be lucky to have him.
