Russell Newberry
Russell Newberry moved to Alaska in 1972 at the age of 9. His passion for crab fishing started in 1978 when he caught his first crab commercially aboard the all concrete fishing vessel “Granite Sea”. He continued to work in the summers as a
dungeness crabber until he graduated from Homer High School in 1980. From there he wanted to further his education in Bozeman, Montana, but unfortunately, circumstances dictated a career change.
As a 24 year old, he landed his first Bering Sea crab job aboard the fishing vessel “Diamond Head”. Over the years, he developed his reputation as a hard working, dependable “crustacean excavator”.
Russell wants to live his life so that his mother can say she very much enjoyed watching him grow up.
