Name: Russell Fulmer

Age: 38

Relationship status: Married

Hometown: Belvue

Occupation: Professor of counseling at Northwestern University. I live here in Lawrence, but teach online.

Describe your style: I try to synthesize the modern and the classic. For a summer stroll, a hat is not commonly worn in contemporary times. But there’s a difference between classic and outdated. That’s what I try to do: revive classic attire with a modern twist. … Whether I pull it off is a different story.

Fashion trends you love: I’m not big into the trendy. I favor modern renditions of classic style rather than fickle trends.

More on trends: There seems to be a dressing down of America. On one hand, to each his own. But I think the dressing down of America creates a collective eyesore. But please don’t put this down as me being judgmental.

Fashion influences: In a way, I would say Frank Sinatra. And there are, frankly, some YouTube personalities that discuss men’s fashion, and I enjoy watching those — MR PORTER, Real Men Real Style. They have entertaining vids and keep me up to date with fashion.

Favorite thing about Lawrence: To me, it’s a healthy moderation between small-town charm, but some big-city amenities. You haven’t got the traffic, hustle and bustle of a larger city.

Least favorite thing about Lawrence: It’s not that expensive, relatively speaking, but I suppose from Kansas standards, there are some things that are more pricey here.

Tell us a secret: I recently received my black belt in Krav Maga, the Israeli martial art.
