Personal Information

Russell Persyn is a professional engineer with over two decades of experience in water resources engineering work. He is currently the Senior Vice President for the Water Business Unit for RESPEC, an employee owned engineering and consulting firm.

Russell is a native of Medina County and the District he serves. His interest in water resources was developed during his days at Medina Valley High School when the formation of the Edwards Aquifer Authority was underway. That interest led him to attend Texas A&M University where he received both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in agricultural engineering. During his Master’s program, Russell led the outreach for Texas AgriLife Extension Service, as a part of the new regional water planning process, on the ability to manage groundwater through groundwater conservation districts.
