My name is Richard Dexter Russell; yes, three first names. What were my parents thinking? I was born in Chattanooga Tennessee and raised in Huntsville Alabama. I was a mild-mannered inquisitive child, being the 3rd child of 5 siblings of sharecropper parents. As my life unfolded, I found my life as a child to be a mystic of any age that have played a role in the possibilities far beyond the norms of the time before me. I have always found myself drawn to the edge of everything or anything that captured my interest, and in great hope, this has led me to discover the purpose of my life a man. I have a calm spirit just like that of my grandfathers and the desire to fight for what he believed in (God, family, country, and self). The same traits are embedded in my DNA has made me a man.
