About
Russell Carriere is a broker with East TN First Choice Business Broker whose path into business ownership started early, sweeping floors at his father's heavy equipment manufacturing company as a boy and working his way through the assembly line, service, and sales departments by his teens. By 18, he was traveling the country running equipment demonstrations and walking prospective customers through complex machinery, an experience that taught him how every detail from a clean shop floor to a well-supported customer, contributes to a business's success. That early exposure gave him the drive to own and operate businesses of his own. Over more than 30 years, Russell has purchased, operated, and sold businesses across retail and wholesale distribution, light manufacturing and installation, and hospitality, including a 125-acre campground, alongside a corporate career selling multi-million-dollar technology solutions to Fortune 500 companies. That breadth of experience shapes how he approaches brokering today: with an understanding of both the technical mechanics of a sale and the emotional weight it carries, since for most sellers and buyers it's the largest transaction of their lives. He and his team place a premium on privacy throughout the process and invite business owners considering a sale, or buyers looking for their next opportunity, to reach out for a conversation.
