russell orton
Chief Financial Officer
Experience – 16 Years
Russell grew up across three states – Salt Lake City, UT; Phoenix, AZ; and Austin, TX, where he became obsessed with how homes flow from functionally designed to efficiently constructed. He relished his teenage years in the farm country of north Austin, learning about hard work and dedication as he and his friends earned money doing odds-and-ends jobs for farmers and developers.
Before moving back to Utah to attend the University of Utah, Russell volunteered for a service mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Lima Peru, where he learned to be goal oriented, flexible, and to communicate with locals to accomplish the mission assignments. While attending college, Russell expanded his knowledge of construction and accounting. After completing his undergraduate, he went on to achieve a master’s degree in accounting in Boston, MA.
While gaining experience in public accounting in Boston; Fort Worth, TX; and Denver, CO, he continued to marvel at architectural design and construction. He always found time away from his computer to earn side money helping friends and family with remodel construction projects. This led Russell to relocate his wife, Erin, and their three living children to the greater Salt Lake Area, UT, to take a new job as the chief financial officer and controller of a construction general contractor.
He is a big believer in improving construction profitability and efficiency through good accounting and communication.
