Dave Russell was infectiously happy, kind, industrious, and inherently curious. He chose to put these attributes to work in various trades throughout his life and career. He attended Lincoln Tech to be an Auto Mechanic, studied Digital Electronics at DeVry, and was a Class A Journeyman Electrician and Operations Mechanic. To support his education and family, Dave worked multiple jobs, embodying perseverance, selflessness, and generosity. His legacy lives on through this scholarship, created to support trade students in building a future they can be proud of – just like Dave did.
