Russ has a big heart, a gentle sense of humor and a Patch Adams philosophy to eye care. He is also a rare find in this area as he is a native of West Palm Beach, Florida. Graduating
from Hillsborough Community College in Tampa with a degree in
Opticianry Dispensing Russ began his long career in optical management, sales and service. Russ’s optical expertise is matched only by his personable and humorous interaction with his patients.
On any given day, Russ’s biggest challenge will be to find the perfect neck ware. This long term tradition in wearing colorful, unique ties bodes well as a great conversation starter with his
patients and generates a warm, friendly atmosphere in the Optical Department. It does make birthday and Christmas gifts an easy decision for friends and family, the only difficulty is find one that
Russ doesn’t currently have.
Dedication to family and community keeps Russ busy when he is not working. Caring for the family poodles, Abby and Mia is another joy for Russ at home. An avid outdoorsman he enjoys hiking and backpacking,
and experienced the scenery in such places as New Mexico, North Carolina and Georgia. Russ has been affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America for over thirteen years and also enjoys wood-working
as a hobby.
Recently Russ has committed to assisting the Bonita Springs Lions Club with their vision program for the needy. Twenty plus years in the eye care industry, has deemed Russ one of the best in his
field. Snead Cataract is extremely proud to have him as their Optical Manager and part of the team.
