My name is Russ. I was born in 1986 near Fresno in California. I lived there for 9 years, the later years spending in the foothills on a huge property with surrounding ranches. I moved to Colorado Springs after that with my parents, and eventually up to Woodland Park, Colorado.

I went to Woodland Park High School for all four years. I was in programming classes, really liked the business classes, took catering and it was awesome, and also an art class. I went to one semester of college after high school, but did not really know what I wanted to do, so I did not continue.

After that semester I joined the Navy. I got an 86 on the ASVAB. The ASVAB is a test designed to be completed in 2-3 hours. I finished it in 15 minutes without studying at all. I chose the Fire Control field and went into basic training in January of 2005. Unfortunately halfway through basic training I received a medical discharge and was sent home.

After that I worked a few odd things, and then started working for Valcom LPS in Woodland Park Colorado. I was the lead computer technician, and added website design, sales, etc to my skills. I worked there for 2 years and then quit. I quit mostly because I was getting paid crap there, but also because I needed to go to school.

Since I quit I went back to Pikes Peak Community College in the Radio and Television department. I love TV and my editing classes, and plan to continue this and get a 2 year degree. Once I’ve done that I am hoping to get a job behind the scenes at some TV station here in Colorado Springs, along with continuing to create movies.

Making movies is sort of my hobby. I have a class in editing, but there are just so many ideas I have that I won’t be able to use them all for assignments. A few friends and I started Broken Fork, which is our little movie producing company type of thing. Most of what we have done isn’t the greatest, just sort of experimenting, but now that we’ve gotten that out of our systems we are starting to create some awesome stuff.

I also am a heavy Mountain Dew drinker. I am highly addicted to caffeine, along with being somewhat immune to it’s effect after having so much of it in my system all the time. That’s all I am going to write here, because any longer and it would have to be called an autobiography, and there’s no way I could give that away for free!
