Originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan, Russ now calls Vass, NC home with his wife and three dogs.

Russ is in charge of our parish campus, plus our cemetery that is located at St. John Paul II Catholic School. 

Russ manages our facilities, inside and out. He identifies areas of need, makes plans to address them, and manages the contractors who come out to do the work. He keeps our grounds tip-top for all of our ministries and co-ops.

He and his wife love to camp, and he is currently working on converting a cargo trailer into a camper for them to use in their travels!
