Born on the West Side of Chicago, Tom Russo grew up in the western suburbs of Northlake, Elmhurst and Melrose Park, where he learned to skate with his two sisters, waiting each winter for the creek to freeze over. Over the years, he ice-skated and roller-skated on both quads and in-line skates. Today, as he travels, Russo seeks out local rinks to skate and feel the skate culture of those rinks and the communities they host. His skates of choice are quads!
His freelance writing topics range from hobby to professional, as well from recreation to the technical. Russo’s college career began at SIU in Carbondale where he graduated with an MS degree in public health and concluded with an MA degree in Homeland Security studies from the Naval Postgraduate School. Tom currently lives in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and enjoys yearlong cycling and, of course, roller skating!

Alan Bacon, Rollarena Skating Center, Richland, WA"Impactful writing characterizes Tom Russo’s newly released book, Chicago Rink Rats: The Roller Capital in Its Heyday. Depicting another lively moment, Russo writes of a speed race: “The starter gun went off as six speedsters sprinted from the starting line at the scheduled time of 10:00 p.m. central standard time.” To add even more drama, Russo intersperses updates and news from the war front to orient the reader to the historical context. For example, one paragraph ends with a description of basic forward skating, and the next paragraph seamlessly begins: “The balance of power of the war was shifting in favor of the Allies."
