"I enjoyed having Russ as my Marketing Communications Manager and working with Russ while we were both at DME. Russ is an excellent collaborator on projects, from ideation to development and launch. His marketing expertise, graphic design, product and brand messaging is outstanding. His experience, focus, leadership, collaborative teamwork approach, teaching and team building skills, speaks to the success Russ has achieved and why many enjoy working with and for him. Russ's keen sense of industry and business requirements was instrumental in helping rebuild the messaging and brand identity while working together. Besides the great experience of working together with Russ, I have enjoyed the professional relationship and a friendship we have maintained. As a fellow Chippewa, and Russ's excellent skills, I highly recommend Russ."
