About Theodore Russell

Stuck on the same old hamster wheel? Looking for new ideas, building on success and creating new opportunities in a very competitive environment while prioritizing professionalism integrity and an empowerment/accountability culture? Well then look no further, I thrive on challenge, change, development and growth… My passion is pulling together teams and organizations as a coach and catalyst. I seek individuals, teams and opportunities that want more. Am I a bit old school? YES, but in all the right ways. My work ethic and dedication influences others as it’s sincere, tenacious, authentic and contagious. I believe no matter what level you are at, you still need to get “dirty”. My hero was/is my dad- 40 years as a high school teacher and coach; he positively influenced thousands of young adults and continued to do so well into his 80\'s. I have his genuine passion for pushing productivity and developing talent - isn’t that what we are supposed to do?Over my career as a leader and strategic influencer I have built national sales forces, global distribution networks and developed marketing departments responsible for multi-million-dollar product launches and growth plans. I treat my area of responsibilities as an entrepreneur or with the watchful eye as though I’m the owner when it comes to P&L and employee development/retention. What do I do when I head home? Besides a passion for my wife, kids, fun, camping and golf- you will find our family involved in community - participating in causes and events that support, childhood cancer research, patriotism and home improvement service missions- ASP.Start with the end in mind… Stephany Covey inspired!
