My degree in architecture combined with my grassroots beginning as a carpenter is what has built my skill set today. My father was my first carpenter-mentor who taught me the value of hard work as my siblings and I helped to rebuild our 100-year-old home. Soon after, I worked my way up to leading a crew while working for a custom homebuilder. I was then very fortunate to enter the field of teaching and gain invaluable experience mentoring others while improving my technical skills. It would be a pleasure to share with you what I’ve learned and help you create a solution to improve your environment. Thus, innovative renovations with Russ, or ‘Russovate’, is here to do just that.

My goal is to serve mainly the southeastern Wisconsin area. However, if you are in the Midwest and can accommodate travel, I have completed work in Colorado and in northern Wisconsin. I also enjoy unusual and creative requests, so whatever idea is on your mind, don’t be afraid to collaborate! Send an inquiry on my contact page to see what we can create together.

Talk to you soon!
