Brandon Russell was born in Atlanta, Georgia and moved to North Carolina at the age of four and grew up right outside of Charlotte. 

He graduated from Appalachian State University with an Advertising major and a Business minor, but was persuaded by a girlfriend to pursue a career in modeling. 

For several years, he traveled the world, shooting and living in such cities as New York, Hollywood, Miami and Atlanta. His life changed drastically in 2002 when his dad passed away from cancer. 

It was then that Brandon decided to use what his father, a journeyman in carpentry, had taught him and Brandon became a carpenter himself. Brandon's own business, "Homecierge - the Concierge to Homes," provides home remodeling services.  With a design division, a make-ready division that prepares homes for resale and a handyman division, Brandon does it all.  "If I haven't, bring it on!"
