Phillip Luke Russell is a sophomore at Austin Peay State University, studying Finance and Artificial Intelligence. He serves as an investment analyst for the university's student managed fund, which manages a portfolio worth more than half a million dollars.

A native of Clarksville, Tennessee, Phillip graduated from Rossview High School, where he captained the soccer team and earned Offensive MVP honors, experiences that shaped his leadership. He brings that same drive to his work as the founder of Crimson AI, where he builds custom operating systems and helps businesses adopt AI tools to optimize efficiency.
