Tommy joined the Russell's team in June of 2025. He grew up in Central Massachusetts before attending Castleton University in Vermont, where he earned Bachelor’s degrees in Business Marketing and Management. A four-year member of the collegiate ski racing team, Tommy developed a lasting passion for the mountains and the outdoor lifestyle. Following graduation, he built a career in hospitality management, working in both the golf and restaurant industries. From private golf clubs to vibrant mountain town restaurants, Tommy has focused on elevating the dining experience through strong leadership, attention to detail, and a passion for great food and service.

Tyler joined the Russell’s team in 2025, bringing with him five years of experience as bar manager at our beloved sister restaurant, Los Amigos. Though new to the Russell’s family, his passion for hospitality and events made him a natural fit. When he’s not welcoming guests or planning something fun at the restaurant, you’ll probably catch him on the hill, on the river, or out on the trails. A regular at local shows, Tyler’s always down to talk music.

Shea joined us October of 2024, with 18 years of experience in the restaurant industry. She’s held every possible position including line cook, and plans to open her own bar/restaurant one day. Her passion for the restaurant industry lies purely in her love for hospitality at its core. Providing memorable experiences for people while they are on vacation adds to the excitement and fulfillment that comes from this line of work. There's something about the energy buzzing in a restaurant environment that challenges us to take risks and elevate our standards. Her background is in fine arts, so having the ability to curate our cocktail program and wine list allows her to have a creative outlet. She loves being able to change up our beverage selections based on Chef Jason's menu each season. She’s been working hard to evolve our wine list into something that speaks to the Russell's environment. Wine is something she’s incredibly passionate about - the stories about the winemakers and the history lessons that come with each bottle adds something unique to the dining experience for our guests. She ensures they leave with the memory of an incredible meal paired with their new favorite bottle of wine.  When she’s not at Russell's, you’ll find her skiing, gardening, trail running, playing in the ceramics studio, planning her next trip across the world, and spending every spare moment on the river.

Jason joined Russell’s in 2022 after many years working at renowned resorts and restaurants around the country. He enjoys learning about new foods and flavors from around the world and implementing them onto the Russell’s menu. Outside of work you can find him duffing it up on local golf courses or enjoying all that Vail offers.
