Al Russell
Financial Advisor
Senior Vice President
Senior Resident Director
As a Financial Advisor, I have the privilege of advising and working with individuals and families around the U.S.
I employ the open architecture of Merrill Lynch Wealth Management to deliver innovative, effective strategies to assist clients in obtaining their financial goals. I take the time to listen to what's important to clients. This allows me to work with each client to deliver services that will aid in developing their wealth management, retirement, educational, and legacy plans. These plans will change as client's lives change. Clients include athletes, coaches, entrepreneurs, business owners, executives, and retired professionals.
I am passionate about giving back to the community. I have volunteered with organizations that promotes women's well being and children's education.
I starting working for Merrill in 1982 in Louisville Ky. I relocated to Austin, Tx. in 1988. I am a graduate of The University of Kentucky and have been married for forty years with one son, two grandsons and one granddaughter.
My mission, first and foremost, is to understand you and what matters most to you. Armed with that information I can ask thoughtful questions -- listening carefully, then understanding in detail where your wealth stands today and where you'd like it to be tomorrow. I help you design and implement a personalized plan intended to help you and your family pursue financial goals while helping manage investment risk. My approach is to focus on potential solutions that can help turn goals into reality.
