John Schussler

Meet Top Rail Fence Seattle owner John Schussler. John opened Top Rail Fence Seattle to escape the software industry and instead spend his days outdoors, exploring Seattle back yards while avoiding landmines from the resident dogs. Originally from Yakima, John has called Seattle home for 35 years and Washington for 55. His interest in owning Top Rail Fence Seattle comes from a long-time interest and practice in construction, and a desire to help his Seattle neighbors by safeguarding against coyotes and thwarting backyard thieves. As a seasoned pilot, he enjoys experiencing the region’s scenic beauty from the skies, and never tires of views of Mt. Rainier, the Olympics, and the many lakes and rivers that make the Seattle area so beautiful. With extensive experience managing schedules and dependencies, John brings order to the fence-building chaos and draws on his skills in team management to make projects run smoothly. Married with one daughter, John’s commitment to Top Rail Fence Seattle reflects his dedication to keeping the dogs of Seattle safe, their owners un-burgled, and their homes places where everyone can relax and enjoy the rain and also the occasional sun break.
