There is nary a hair on his cleanly shaven face, but his light brown hair at any time measures just off his shoulders, tied up more often then not. Most people don't really consider him hansom, though he has been called cute more often then not due to his height.

[b]Bio:[/b] Being the middle child of three boys meant that Russell had to deal with various push and pulls of life, and for the longest time he never had the spotlight. His father is a retired veteran and his mother a social worker. He is especially close to his mother, who always encouraged him to find something he liked to do, and one day when they all went to a Dave Mathews Band concert, he found it. Boyd Tinsley's violin spoke to him, and it was then that he knew he needed to learn how to play.

Playing the violin seemed to come naturally to him, and inside of two years he was playing classical pieces such as Ysaye Sonata No. 8 and Monti Csardas. After a while this became less exiting to him and he started trying to perform a wide range of modern genres, adapting songs that had no violin at all. He took to performing in his local town at various clubs and community centers, where eventually he caught the eyes of his current band whom he click with right away.

[b]Personality:[/b] Many consider him the voice of reason, the man with the inflammable temper who carries a level head in any situation. His most inspiring figure in his life is his mom, who taught him that if you get upset over something, then you are doing it wrong and should try again. Others know him as the hard worker with the one track mind, always needing to finish what he is working on before he can move on. He is always willing to lend an ear and a hand, when he is available to do so.
