Russell grew up on the South Shore of Long Island, New York, and is a fourth-generation Captain. His love of water began at age four, when he got his first boat in 1967.

After working as a snow-ski instructor, Russell dedicated his career to yachting, beginning with corporate charter yacht THREE HEARTS (1980–1990). He went on to work aboard private yachts PERFECT PRESCRIPTION (1990–1996) and MEDUSA (2001–2025), while also working in yacht management. Today, Russell is the Captain of ONE SPIN 3.

His favorite cruising grounds are the waters of the Northeastern United States and the Bahamas, followed by the Outer Banks and Chesapeake Bay.

Russell feels he has achieved everything he has ever wanted in yachting and wishes to continue pursuing his passion. He loves sharing his love of yachting with guests and wants them to leave wishing the charter wasn’t over and already wanting to do it all again.

His favorite part of life is enjoying a quiet morning coffee with his wife and dogs.

Russell’s life motto is: "If anything is going to happen, it's going to happen out there."
