Russ has over 25 years of experience providing computer technical support and digital marketing services to corporations, educational institutions and individuals. He holds an M.A. in telecommunications from Michigan State University, where he performed research on new media and interactive media technologies, and a B.A. in communications from Western Michigan University, where he studied mass communications, video production and theater. Russ has a unique set of skills, bridging the gap between media and technology. Social media and website design have allowed him to marry his technical aptitude with his creative interests, including marketing, graphic design, and photography.
Due to his spouse’s acceptance of a tenured faculty position at Wenatchee Valley College in 2012, Russ relocated his business, Alternative Marketing Connections, from Olympia to Wenatchee and has continued to work with his Western Washington clients, providing social media and online marketing management, content creation and website design services, as part of the new DMNW partnership.
Russ’ client base has included organizations of a variety of sizes and market segments, including contractors (electricians, plumbers, builders, landscapers), medical professionals (medical clinics, massage therapists, chiropractors), and restaurants. Russ has also worked with chambers of commerce, a large casino, a Fortune-500 outdoor recreation supplier, and the University of Oregon.
Russ also has college-level teaching experience in computer information systems at Lane Community College in Eugene, Oregon.
