Dallas, TX (October 16, 2025)
WPWealth Manager, Brandon Russ, has joined the Board of Directors at Leukemia Texas.
Leukemia Texas is dedicated to improving the lives of Texans facing leukemia through direct financial support. The organization also funds research aimed at improving treatments, and ultimately, finding a cure.
As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, Russ helps his clients in a variety of ways including advising on large transactions to comprehensive financial planning for all generations. He earned his B.S. in Financial Counseling and Planning from Purdue University.
Shortly after joining WPWealth in 2019, Russ saw the opportunity to spread his knowledge to young adults to help guide them to make strategic financial decisions. He spearheaded the initiative to start the financial literacy podcast series called, “Start Now, Success Later.” The Whitley Penn Talks podcast series features industry experts as they walk through topics such as budgeting and debt management, benefits, 401(k) plans, first-time tax filings, and more. The series has had great success, including being featured in INSIDE Public Accounting. Additionally, Russ helped start the NextGen Council, a carefully selected group of Whitley Penn and WPWealth junior professionals who aim to improve both the client and employee experience.
Outside of the office, Russ serves as a mentor with the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Board of Standards, serves on the Young Professionals of Plano (YPP) Committee at the Plano Chamber of Commerce (PCC), and is a member of the Purdue University Alumni Association.
“We’re proud to share that Brandon has been named to the board of directors for Leukemia Texas,” stated Shane Miller, WPWealth Partner. “His dedication to serving others and supporting causes that make a real difference in our community reflects the values we hold as a firm. We’re inspired by his commitment and proud to support him in this important role.”
