Russell Helms
Russell Helms’ lifelong interest in the outdoors and hiking have carried him along a variety of paths, from sections of the nearby Appalachian Trail of North Georgia all the way to the remote highlands of Ethiopia. His most memorable job as a writer was as a reporter for the St. Clair News-Aegis, where he covered stories ranging from heated school board meetings to earnest Bigfoot sightings. A graduate of Jefferson State College and Auburn University, Helms lives in Birmingham with his wife and two children. Happily, he reports, all family members enjoy the outdoors, especially hiking and backpacking.
