Russell started his professional life as a secondary school teacher so his interest in teaching WSET Level 2 & 3 came naturally once his career changed to selling wine in later years.
Russell worked in management roles for Negociants for over 15 years and then he started his own company – Russell Gehling Wines in 2007. He represents Australian, New Zealand and European producers. Russell feels blessed that his hobby and passion are also his vocation.
