A proud Jayhawk, Rusty stepped away from the University of Kansas to serve in the Air Force and was a Vietnam Veteran. Upon return from duty, Rusty finished his degree and styled himself as an entrepreneur, visionary and salesperson. On a visit to Arizona, he was encouraged to focus his skills on real estate, and embarked on a 37 year career, distinguishing himself as a perennial top producer at both Russ Lyon Realty and Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty. He was a notable figure in the industry, taking an active role in the Luxury Home Tour as both a Chairman and Board Member. More than a vocation, real estate was a defining part of Rusty's life; he collaborated with numerous builders and sold countless lots, homes and pieces of land. Passionate about performance cars and driving, he traveled to Germany to drive the Autobahn and Nurburgring and delighted in being a font of knowledge about automobiles. Daily, somehow or other, the subject of cars came up.
