At 5’11” and 220
“semi-solid” pounds, this attorney spends his
working hours suing companies and individuals who
violate environmental laws. In addition to
practicing law, Russell enjoys spending time with
his wife and five-year-old daughter and watching
independent films.
Growing up in Pittsburgh, Russell’s father fell
victim to layoffs at a local steel mill and
struggled to support his family. Forced to
move into Section 8 housing, his parents eventually
divorced but the separation did not weaken any of
his relationships, including the one he shared with
his parents. Russell’s hero is his dad whom he
says, “really loved his family and was a perfect
example of what a husband should be to his wife, and
what a dad should be to his child.”
Despite tumultuous circumstances (or as a result
of), Russell has been attracted to jobs with
responsibilities ranging from environmental
protection, minority youth education advocacy and
representation for homeless individuals. He is a
dedicated father and a loving husband and describes
a perfect day as spending time with his daughter and
ending the day by “talking” privately with his
wife.
A passionate man, Russell cannot stand hearing
over-generalizations about specific groupings of
people and avoids discussing topics relating to race
and sexuality because he feels that others usually
have a hard time dealing with his conversation
style.
Always prepared to joke and laugh at himself,
Russell is willing to go to drastic lengths for a
million dollars in order to win including making a
vow to cut off his dreadlocks if he wins the title
of sole SURVIVOR.
Currently, Russell resides in Glenside, Pa. His
birthday is February 17.
