Board of Directors Vice-President
Russell Simpson
Russell has been a member of Unity Community of Central Oregon since moving here in the Fall of 2019. Growing increasingly Spiritual over time, they have been seeking community to learn from and grow with. They joined the Board of Directors in Spring of 2024 and attend service almost every week, serving as Lead Greeter and opening doors for community.
Originally from New Jersey, Russell has moved and improved many times over their three and a half decades. They grew up in the urban streets, in a wonderfully diverse community, with friends from all over the world. At Rutgers University, Russell majored in Japanese, and studied abroad in Japan. Russell also learned conversational German, Spanish, and bits of many other languages.
Russell moved to Tucson, AZ in 2014 to study for a Master’s degree in Architecture, experience the desert, and learn about sustainability. After completing the degree, they started a business doing design and construction of custom projects, including sculpture, furniture, and permitting. After a decade, the desert became unsustainable and Russell picked Bend as the best place in the USA for them to live. So, they moved here without a friend or a job, but quickly found everything they needed in the Bend community. Russell restarted their Maker’s business with a focus on sustainability and upcycling. Russell also joined a non-profit farming company as Executive Designer, and founded an Entrepreneurial Community. In Bend, Russell feels rooted and at home.
