Russell G. Saville was born on July 29, 1968, the first of four children born to Norma and Gordon Saville. Russell graduated from Hudson Falls High School in 1986. He then went to Cobleskill College for two years where he received his Associate’s Degree in Agricultural Business. He continued his education at Cornell University where he received his Bachelor’s Degree and Agricultural Business Degree.
Russell was then hired by Cargill as a Dairy Management Consultant. He has won numerous awards at Cargill. The two most prominent being The President’s Club Award where he was the youngest recipient ever to win this award. He went on to win it another ten times. He also received the President’s Award, which one person in the world is chosen each year.
Russell not only achieves great things at work, but also gives greatly to his community, helping at any school event, raising money for causes, and being an active member in the Kingsbury Baptist Church, where he serves as a deacon.
Russell believes his roots of coming from the small community of Kingsbury has instilled in him three things he lives by:
Integrity –– Doing the right thing regardless of the consequences.
Respect for Others – Treat others as they would like to be treated. (If you give it, you will receive it.)
Passion for Success – What drives you to continually challenge the status quo. No walls, no stops, proceed to “Go”. Love what you do, do what you love.
Russell is a leader for the agricultural community, always inspiring and helping farmers to stay viable and profitable in Upstate New York.
Russell has two children, Ethan and Jared, who are attending Hudson Falls Central School District at this time.
