A Comedic Storyteller
Crystal is a certified public accountant and partner in the firm, Hull and Russell, P.C.
She is a life-long resident of Clanton, Alabama and is married to Jerry Russell. They have one son, Grayson. Jerry and Crystal travel and sing Christian music, ministering in churches and entertaining at festivals and banquets. Jerry recently retired as the chief building official for the City of Montgomery, AL and Grayson is an actor, most known for his roles as "Texas Ranger" in "Talladega Nights", and "Fregley" in "Diary of a Wimpy Kid."
Crystal ministers through comedic story telling and motivational speaking at churches, conferences, and various other events.

I worked with Crystal and her family through our television, radio and conference ministry. It was always an honor to have them as a guest.
Crystal spoke at our annual "High Heels and Heavenly Hope" women's conference in Sevierville TN. We were blown away with her message and her presentation.
Crystal is a talented, compassionate, beautiful lady and a true woman of God. It shows in her spirit as well as her professionalism.
Crystal and "Claudean" are a Blessing to anyone she has the privilege to speak with.
Becky Pierce - Retired Teacher/Three Time Past President of AL Assoc. for Career & Technical Education (ACTE)
Crystal will have your group laughing one minute and serious the next. She spoke at our regional ACTE conference in AL, and the group was much impressed with her ability to bring laughter to her presentation while sharing what this group of educators needed to hear. I highly recommend her as a speaker (and entertainer). I do not believe any group that uses her will be disappointed.
