​Board Member

Travis Russell brings a wealth of experience and heart to the Marvilee board. After a 25-year career in training, consulting, and graduate-program teaching, he left the corporate world for entrepreneurship where his latest venture is as co-owner of Lila Mae’s Southern Kitchen. Travis combines professional expertise with a deep personal commitment to raising awareness about mental health and substance abuse.
After facing his own struggles with addiction and choosing sobriety in 2024, Travis joined Marvilee to give back to the recovery community that helped save his life. He often says, “I recover loudly because so many others suffer in silence,” a message that drives his dedication to advocacy, education, and hope for those still finding their way to recovery.​
