Facebook Twitter For nearly two decades, Russell was an Executive Chef in the Restaurant Industry, in which he created succulent entrees and managed various types of kitchen operations. In the last seven years, he began to teach future culinarians achieve their professional goals in hands-on classroom and lecture settings. With his recent graduate work in the field of Sociology, his interests centered on organizational behaviorism, social theory and food insecurity. Russell has been writing for the majority of his life. Last year, he published a Second Edition on his freshman novel, The Tale of Old Man Fischer. Slipping into alternative universes allows Russell to enjoy the process of creativity from the novel’s conception to its final draft. Most importantly, inspiration is a continuous piece of his work and results from the world around him. Currently, he lives in Up State New York with two children and several cats.
