Russell Stover

Russell has more than 30 years of experience painting interiors and exteriors for residential and commercial projects, having started his path to a painting career in 1975 by learning timeless techniques from an Irish immigrant. Russell parlayed this one-on-one experience into attending Union Apprenticeship School from 1979 to 1982, afterwards working for various high-end painters such as R&P Paint, Conrado Homes, and Pelache Paint, and then coming to work for his brother and DJS Painting in 2004.

Russell has a son and daughter, and on his down time, he volunteers as a mediator at the Conflict Resolution Center of Santa Cruz; he is also both on the Board of Directors for the Divorced Father Network of Santa Cruz in addition to being a co-parenting instructor.
