Russell Menyhart

MEMBER-AT-LARGE (2026)

Russell has a child in Upper Elementary and feels fortunate to be able to help A Children’s Habitat develop and preserve a special learning environment. He previously served on the founding board of a public charter school and a homeschool cooperative, and is currently on the board of the Rethink Coalition, a non-profit working to build better transportation systems in Indianapolis. Although his most important job is as a dad to three kids, Russell also works as an international trade lawyer for Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP. Russell has degrees in East Asian Studies and law, and he and his wife, Kristy Murphy, previously lived in Argentina and China (where his oldest child first attended a Montessori school) for about seven years. He loves kayaking and making functional pottery.
