Our story

Dave Russell was 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 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 as Dave did.

Our goal

This fund will support the Dave Russell Memorial Scholarship for Skilled Trades.
