The Man

Russell enjoys his life. He is a music fanatic, film buff, non-recovering golfaholic, Texas hold 'em player, and an adventurer. Living life to the fullest is the same approach he uses in his programs: full speed ahead. He also loves to accomplish his bucket list items every year and he is driven to do them all. To relax he finds nothing better than using his culinary skills to entertain friends and family, or playing with his dogs.
