Russell Hernandez is a real estate developer and owner's representative who was hired by Jeffrey Epstein in 2018 to oversee construction and renovation projects at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse (9 East 71st Street) and his private island, Little St. James.

Hernandez appears in over 300 documents, primarily as Epstein's builder/contractor handling high-end residential renovations. The mentions include direct email correspondence with Epstein about construction timelines, pricing for marble work in the master bathroom and stair hall, coordinating with French craftsmen Jean Huguen and Lionel Vilette, and managing projects in both New York and the Caribbean. Many documents are scheduling emails showing appointments between Epstein and Hernandez, often alongside architect Bryan Brown. All documented interactions occurred after Epstein's 2008 conviction and appear strictly professional—discussing construction costs, material selections, and project management rather than personal matters.
