CEO - Titan Restoration of AZ

Russ Palmer, CEO of Titan Restoration in Arizona, started his career in restoration in 1996, learning the ropes from industry legends. He first entered the field through a small carpet cleaning business, which quickly led him to discover his passion for water damage and structural drying. By 1998, Russ was fully committed to restoration, launching Floodpro and earning a reputation for expertise in "top-down" drying techniques.

In 2005, Russ founded Titan Restoration, growing it into a full-service company known for its high standards and cutting-edge solutions. He co-founded Xcelerate Job Management software in 2019 to improve efficiency and transparency in the industry. Russ currently serves on the RIA board and chairs the Technology Committee, all while mentoring others and staying at the forefront of restoration innovation. He enjoys coaching and mentoring his team and other restoration companies. He has an abundance mindset and lives by the mantra “A rising tide raises all boats.” Married since 1998 with six kids, he’s looking forward to becoming a grandfather.
