Russell has over 19 years experience as a Financial Advisor. Prior to joining Excelsior Wealth Partners, Russell held the title of Vice President of Investments at M&T Securities, where he was consistently ranked as a top 10 Financial Advisor.
Before his time at M&T Securities, Russell worked in Miami, FL for SunTrust’s Sports & Entertainment Group, where he was a Financial Advisor for celebrities and professional athletes. It was during this time, that his recognition as a top financial advisor led to him being recruited by the F.B.I for white collar/financial crimes, and in December 2009, Russell was conditionally appointed as a Special Agent. As an alternative to Financial Crimes, Russell headed to Ft. Benning, GA as a part of the Special Forces (18x) pipeline, where he spent over 2 years in that role.
Russell is a native of the New Hartford, NY area and currently resides in Baldwinsville, NY. Much of Russell’s time is spent traveling or in the company of the remarkable people he has been fortuitous to meet through the years.
