“Russell keynoted the Oregon Statewide Transition Conference, connecting over 500 participants, made up of teachers and agencies who work with youth who experience disabilities throughout the state. The presentation was so helpful. Russell’s message was touching and inspiring to all the participants. His sincere and powerful life story, poems and journey is a great reminder of what some of our youth struggle with and how to better support them in their transition to adulthood. He is an authentic and truly great motivational speaker! Russell, you are a great inspiration for people to push themselves out of their comfort zone to grow!”
