Russ MunsonI was born and raised in the small town of Issaquah, Washington in the Pacific Northwest. After serving in the Army, I worked for in the field of commercial financial services specializing in the sports, media and entertainment markets. Early on in lfe Munson had a deep fascination with the human potential movement and self help psychology. Through studies and readings of dozens of books, and attending seminars and workshops he reached an understanding that each of us is the master of own destiny. Each of us, using our individual and unique talents and skills has the potential to achieve the life we want to live and be the person we hope to be.
