Russ Beymer joined HomeAid in December 2019 as the founding Executive Director for HomeAid Orlando. He comes to the nonprofit world after a 30-plus year career in homebuilding across the eastern half of the US. His experience includes field and staff roles in construction, sales, administration and marketing. In addition to owning his own for five years, he’s worked for Ryan Homes, Fischer Homes, and Beazer Homes. Always active on local HBA’s, it was his leadership on committees for the Greater Orlando Builders Association that led to the connections that helped create HomeAid Orlando, and build a strong local Board of Directors. Russ has led charitable campaigns for builders with veterans’ projects, and St. Jude Children’s  Research Hospitals’s Dream Home Program. 

A native of Pittsburgh, PA, Russ is a graduate of Duquesne University and lives just north of “the most magical place in Orlando” with his wife and extended family. They love everything about the Florida lifestyle and are a very passionate bunch for ice hockey and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
