  • Amanda Russino Chief Operating Officer
    My name is Amanda Russino, and I am the Chief Operating Officer at Groovy Hues Painting. I’ve been in the painting industry since 2012, starting my career at Sherwin Williams Paint Company right after college. In 2016, I met Matt Rathgeb, who was then operating as Rathgeb Painting; he consistently remained my top customer throughout my various roles. In 2022, I took a leap onto his team as a Sales Rep, leaving corporate America behind, but my passion for operations led me to become Operations Manager. Now, as COO following our rebranding to Groovy Hues in 2024, I couldn’t be more excited about where we’re headed. What I enjoy most about my work at Groovy Hues is definitely the people I collaborate with. I also take great pride in being part of a fantastic brand that truly embodies its core values. My background with Sherwin Williams for ten years gives me a significant advantage in this role, particularly when it comes to streamlining the paint ordering process. We are committed to our core values and consistently strive to deliver an exceptional customer experience. Outside of work, a fun fact about me is my love for the New Year's Mummer's Parade, as my family is divided among different clubs and brigades, adding an exciting dynamic to the tradition.
  • Michelle Reilly Sales Consultant
    My name is Michelle Reilly, and I serve as a  Consultant at Groovy Hues Painting. I’ve been with Groovy Hues for 3 years. I love being part of our clients' journey in bringing their dream space to life. It’s incredibly rewarding to guide them through every stage of the project, from the initial consultation to the final touches, and even maintaining a connection with them through our job anniversary check-ins. I don’t particularly have a favorite between interior, exterior, or cabinetry projects—I genuinely enjoy them all! My favorite part in any project though, is seeing the finished result and witnessing how happy the transformation makes our clients! Outside of work, I love spending quality time with my three children. Whether we’re going for a walk or enjoying a family game night, it’s always about creating fun moments together. We have a special way of turning even the simplest activities into a good time! I take immense pride in my work because I wholeheartedly believe in our company’s mission. Our goal is to deliver a top-tier client experience paired with the highest quality of workmanship. Every team member, from the first person answering the phone to the final painter, all share the same commitment to our core values. This makes working at Groovy Hues incredibly rewarding, and I feel truly honored to be part of such a special company.
  • Craig Rickard Sales Consultant
    My name is Craig Rickard and I am a Sales Consultant at Groovy Hues Painting. I have been in the painting business since 1998. I enjoy the daily interaction with our clients, painters and my colleagues. I enjoy being able to insure excellent service and high value to our customers. My experience is that Groovy Hues is unique, in that we stand behind everything we promise. We deliver. I enjoy both interior and our exterior products alike. I have a wonderful family, a great dog named Digger, I routinely work out, and I love to fish. I take pride in our process. The team of people that we have throughout the company allows me to advocate for our process, without hesitation. I take a lot of pride in that, and I'm confident on consulting calls.
