For the last nine years, Russ has served in the public sector, managing multiple departments, developing and managing annual budgets, and leading and supporting the community he served. With over 30 years of commercial and residential construction experience, Herbert (Herb) Hancock joins our team as Senior Superintendent. Herb will bring his exceptional communication and leadership skills as he manages, coordinates, and oversees the work of the DEW field staff and subcontractors on projects.
