Russell Wayne “Rusty” Barron retired from Shell after 34 years as one of their senior executives gaining vast experience in assignments in Commercial Real Estate, Sales, Marketing, Strategy, Business Development, and Operations. His last two roles were Vice President of Marketing for Lubricants North America and Vice President and General Manager of Shell’s Fleet Solutions Business for the Americas. He went to school in Texas at Stephen F. Austin State University, where he received his Bachelor of Business Administration Degree. In his first year of retirement, he earned his US Coast Guard Captain’s license and his state of Florida real estate license.During his time as Real Estate Manager for Shell in the New York area, his passion for buying and selling properties took off. Therefore, it is no surprise that when he retired from Shell and moved to Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, within his first year he introduced five friends to the 30A Beach Lifestyle he loves so much, and they all bought their own places in Santa Rosa Beach. Shortly thereafter Rusty joined the best Real Estate brand in the industry, Corcoran Reverie, to continue with his passion of introducing more people to owning and living the beach lifestyle. Rusty lives full-time in Blue Mountain Beach and currently serves on The Retreat HOA Board as well as Chairman of the Retreat Design Review Board. Rusty lives at the beach with his wife Kristi and together they enjoy boating, fishing, biking, and exploring the beaches along the beautiful Emerald Coast.
