He started playing piano as a young child, picked up the guitar as a pre-teenager, started messing around with the blues harmonica and mandolins as an adult and as a “senior citizen” he started playing the 5-string banjo. Russ arranges piano music pieces and puts together guitar and banjo tablature (tabs). -----POLITICS: Russ J.

He served at Royal Air Force Upper Heyford, England, the air base from which the 1986 F-111 bombings of Moammar Gaddafi in Libya were launched, also one of the NATO bases closed later by Bill Clinton. -----ENGINEERING & BUSINESS: After working in mechanical engineering (1983-1992), Russ was involved in business development, marketing, and the financial sector (1992-2001).
