My name is Alex Russell. I’ve been living in Calgary, Alberta Canada ever since my wife Erika and I were hitched in 2015.

Yes, I started late. After hearing a whisper of a call in my teens, I somehow ignored it and became a firefighter. After a 25 year career, I retired and stayed close to the profession by moving into emergency management, where I have been working in higher education now for over 10 years.

Raised in a small country church, I had heard the truths of the gospel, and knew many of the "stories" in the Bible, but not always in an organized manner.

Through RBS, I have been able to stay serving my local church and continue gaining valuable hands-on experience while pursuing my seminary education. I am so thankful for the Christ-centered, Bible-focused education that have been able to receive here at RBS! I would like to thank the professors and staff at RBS who work so hard to provide that education!

The convenience of the online format, the curriculum, and the depth of study provided me with opportunities and benefits too numerous to convey. I am eternally grateful to RBS and its staff for their support and hard work for those who need flexibility without compromising quality.
