Russell has been clean and sober since April 11, 2014. He inspires many to live their life with purpose and unlock their full potential. His rise from a homeless drug addict to where he is now has been nothing short of phenomenal. His story is an inspiration to all who struggle, as well as those who love an addict.
Russell founded Light in the Shadows, an organization that works with addicts and the homeless. He also just finished his first novel titled “Dear Mom”, which will be coming soon.
Driven by the loss of his mother, Russell strives to make right all that was wrong, hoping that somehow, she bears witness to his tremendous reinvention. Through his activism and speaking, he shares his story to inspire the lost to find their way, as well as a testament to the words he lives by…that “anything is possible!”
