Russell is proud to say that this line of work has taken him to every First Nation community in Manitoba. Being in the Information technology field has also given him the opportunity to move home with his family and work with our people. Russell is honoured to have been given this opportunity and is thankful that his children will get to grow up surrounded by family. Russell was taught the importance of family, laughter, and community from those that surrounded him. All the good values that were instilled in him, he instills in his children and will get to experience all the great things we have here in Ochekwi Sipi. “It’s great to be home.”
