Russell is a hard worker, team player and is willing to go the extra mile to get the job done. He took charge and wore multiple hats to overcome a cycle attack without any direction from our superior. He leads with kindness, patience, and a great sense of urgency. His willingness to teach and to get to the bottom of a root cause is phenomenal – pure genius. I value his positive attitude during challenging times while putting out fires alongside with different departments. I am beyond grateful to have such supportive teammate and would be honored to work with Russell again.
