Russell was born and raised in Springfield. After he graduated high school in 1996 he began working in the Bakery at Walmart where he retired after 20 years. He spends his time doing arts and crafts, watching The Golden Girls, The Dukes of Hazzard, Full House and all of the CSI crime TV dramas. Before breaking a hip slipping on the ice in 2024 he played many sports year round with A Sporting Chance. He loves to sing along with his favorite artists Michael Jackson and Elvis. He loves to play pranks on people and try to scare them. You never know what kind of critter he may have in his pocket or what corner he will be hiding around. Russell has had a love of keys and key chains since he was a little boy. He always carried keys that went to nothing and several key chains. He would tell everyone he was going to drive a blue car one day and that is what his keys were for. We took his love of key chains and his love of crafts to create the products you see here today.
