Brian Russell - Roving Intern

Not your typical city government intern, Brian comes to us from the world of food. He has spent the majority of his life in front of cutting boards and gas burners. He has headed local restaurants, such as Carlyle, La Prima and La Buca, and even owned his own establishment, Café Fraiche, in Sherwood. He has always embraced the communal aspect of sharing a meal, especially when the food is prepared with love. After the birth of his two beautiful daughters, he had a change in perspective, an epiphany, if you will.

Now, his goals are for the long-term benefit of his children and all the children of Portland. Brian is a neophyte in city government, but has a passion for the various issues challenging our community, such as environmental sustainability, funding education and improving the local economy. He hopes that this experience in Commissioner Adams' office will give him the experience and tools needed to continue to best serve the public interest.

Brian feels as though he has been adopted by Oregon, but he was actually born and raised in Indiana. There, at Purdue University, he met his lovely wife, Laura, who is very supportive of his career change. Brian loves a good laugh and is always there when someone needs support.
