Rusty Russell hails from Normal where he lives with his two dogs (and wife and son). He waves a little white stick in the air to pay the bills. When not turning grey from his students, Rusty volunteers at Community Players Theatre in Bloomington where he has music directed several productions. In his spare time, he likes to breathe and not talk to people. Playing multiple instruments in the band, Rusty relies on Joanne to keep him on track as well as to make sure he behaves like a good boy.
