Gene Ruelle | Furniture Restorer, Antique Appraiser, Digital Inventory Innovator, and Poet



For over 40 years, Gene Ruelle has dedicated his career to fine furniture restoration, antique appraisal, and the seamless blend of craftsmanship and technology. His expertise in furniture repair and on-site refresh services has made him a trusted name in the industry, preserving cherished heirlooms with the care and skill they deserve.



Beyond his hands-on restoration work, Gene has been a trailblazer in the appraisal field. As the first appraiser to offer a secure digital portal for appraisers to transmit confidential information, he launched SecureRepository.com, solving a major challenge in securely handling large appraisal files. Today, he continues this innovation with YourInventorySolution.com and ItemizeItPro.com, giving appraisers and collectors the tools they need to manage, document, and transfer inventory securely in the digital age.



Gene is also the creator of Finisher’s Formula® and Finisher’s Touch™, high-quality, non-toxic furniture care products trusted by collectors and restoration professionals. His expertise extends into the written word as well—an accomplished poet, he captures life’s experiences in verse just as he preserves history through restoration.



Above all, Gene values family. As a husband, father, and grandfather, he believes that just like fine furniture, relationships require care and attention to grow more meaningful with time. Through his craftsmanship, innovations, and poetry, Gene remains dedicated to preserving the past while building a future where tradition and technology coexist seamlessly.
