I have over 28 years of experience and expertise building spec houses, in Wellington's premier subdivisions of Churton Park and Grenada. I specialise in property development with a focus on high quality. I believe in working with local contractors to deliver the very best work at the best price. I am proud to say Russell Properties has built over 500 homes and has gained a trusted reputation amongst clients and suppliers. I am actively involved in my community as Chairman of the Board for the Hurricanes Alumni Foundation. We formed this organisation over eight years ago to help and support Hurricanes players and their families transition to a successful life post-rugby. It is wonderful that I get to work alongside my wife Vicki, who heads the house design team at Russell Properties. We have two girls. Annalise, who is a Digital Design Specialist at Kowtow Clothing here in Wellington and Brigitte, who is a Sustainability Analyst at ENGIE Impact in Melbourne.
