It takes a team to keep things running behind the scenes. Meet Russ, Airport Manager. Russ spent his early professional career in retail sales and customer service with companies such as Mellville, Office Depot and Winston Tire Company in Southern California. He fell in love with aviation and earned his private pilots license in 1988. Russ earned a Bachelors Degree in Aviation Management from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale and a Master of Public Management from Indiana University.
His airport career started at McClellan-Palomar Airport (CRQ) in Carlsbad, California where he worked his way from an unpaid intern to an Operations Officer. From there he moved his family of 5 to Milwaukee’s General Mitchel International Airport (MKE) as a Noise Abatement Analyst and finally found his home in Auburn Indiana where he has been the Manager of DeKalb County Airport (GWB) since 2004.
