This week on Meet Your Neighbor, I sit down with Russ Fuller, a man whose life has been built around service, faith, and strong Midwestern roots.

Russ grew up in Bettendorf, Iowa, where his love for the Iowa Hawkeyes runs deep. He went on to serve our country in the United States Air Force, carrying that same commitment to service into the next chapter of his life.

After his time in the military, Russ spent 17 years in ministry, helping guide and support others through life’s challenges. And today, he continues that work right here in our community, serving at Christ’s Church of the Valley in Peoria.

Russ’s story is a great reminder of what it means to stay grounded, give back, and live with purpose—and I think you’re really going to enjoy getting to know him.
