Russell grew up on a small farm in Zorra Township before earning an Honours Bachelor of Social Sciences from the University of Ottawa and a Juris Doctor from the University of Windsor. He was called to the Ontario Bar in 2015 and began practicing in St. Marys before joining White Coad LLP as an associate in January 2019. Russell currently volunteers on the board of directors for the Perth Community Futures Development Corporation.
In his spare time, Russell can often be found running in St. Marys, where he currently resides. He is also a mediocre curler and a long-suffering Toronto sports fan.
