Russell 'Pepe' Smith

Before joining NAI James E. Hanson, Pepe built a diverse foundation through internships in financial planning and analysis with E&S Food, Inc., a family-owned Italian food distributor in New Jersey, and Delavan Ag Pumps in Minneapolis, as well as a volunteer role as a Communications Consultant for Joyce Uptown Foodshelf, a Minneapolis-based nonprofit. These experiences strengthened his financial acumen, problem-solving abilities, and communication skills, all of which support his work in commercial real estate today. Outside of his professional pursuits, Pepe is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys hunting, fishing, golfing, snowboarding, and spending time with family, friends, and his husky. His combination of analytical expertise, leadership experience, and well-rounded personal interests contributes to the disciplined, client-focused approach he brings to every assignment.
