E. J. MCDEVITT

According to the bio on his website: "The hotter the flame, the more tempered the steel. From logging to boxing, by any definition, Russ has had lots of tempering. Russ was born in Ireland and is no stranger to action himself. His journey began when he emigrated alone from Ireland at the age of 17 to a logging town on Vancouver Island in Canada. The journey lead him onto San Francisco to Hawaii, Fiji, New Zealand then onto Australia where he traveled with a boxing and wrestling troupe for three years, taking on all corners. He then took a short breather back in Ireland before returning to Canada and enlisting in the Canadian Armed Forces. Six years were spent in the military, three of them with the NATO Brigade in Europe."
