Kenneth Russell General Information
Biography
Mr. Kenneth Russell serves as Chief Executive Officer, Board Member and President at First Acceptance. Mr. Russell serves as Board Member at Mechanics Bank. Mr. Russell's background includes more than four decades of financial services experience. Over a long career at KPMG, he rose from a staff accountant in the U.S. division to become a member of KPMG Germany's managing Board of Directors. During 20 years in the Dallas office, he led engagement efforts with the firm's regional banking, thrift, and other financial service clients. In 1993, Mr. Russell joined KPMG's national office in New York and led their financial services advisory unit which supported many of the nation's largest banks.
