Graduating this June from Arcadia High, "Young Russ" 
is already well along with his career. From a young age,
Russ has worked beside board members of our Softball 
and Little Leagues in maintaining the fine fields around 
town. While friends were warm in bed enjoy-ing last 
Winter's break, Russ ran heavy equipment through foul 
weather, almost single-handedly rebuilding the South 
Field at Sierra Madre elementary school. 

Through that same time, he has been grilling prime 
Taylors meats at the Heasley Field Diner Now on 

weekends, you can find Russ grilling downtown at 


Taylors Market. His connections and equipment skills 

have also won him an invitation to the field crew at 


SoFi Stadium. Long term, Russ wants to run ranchesand open restaurants himself, and he is already setting 
up those deals. It is comforting to know there is 
still a place in this world for good old hard work and a 
handshake.
