Rusty DeWees: Entertainer, comedic artist, actor, producer, writer, musician, master of duct tape…and the Logger of course! Rusty does it all and keeps his fans and audiences laughing, as he puts it, "till their backs get better." Rusty grew up in Stowe, Vermont where he was actively involved in theatre throughout high school and college. As a young adult, he performed with the award winning Vermont Repertory Theatre, before moving to New York City where he trained at the George Loris Actors Theatre School and the Lee Strasberg Institute. This professional training was followed by scores of notable roles off-Broadway, and in television, film, and national commercials. Missing his home state, Rusty moved back to Vermont where he continued his acting career and developed the Logger character. An eclectic and innovative act, THE LOGGER one-man comedy show is best described as "Blue Collar Comedy" meets "Prairie Home Companion", and has been steadily selling out theatres, large and small, throughout New England ever since it hit the stage in 1998. The success of the live act has spawned three Logger DVDs, two CDs, five calendars, Logger apparel (duct tape wallets and Logger thongs included), and Scrawlins, a compilation of Rusty's columns for syndicated and regional newspapers. Rusty also writes, voices, directs, and produces radio and television spots for various companies throughout New England, and has always, throughout his career, donated his time to promote positive lifestyle choices among high school age kids.

ADAM NELSON
Adam Nelson was named Head Basketball Coach and Assistant Director of Athletics at Suffolk University in August, 2005. Nelson is just the fourth head coach in the 50 year history of Suffolk Basketball following Charles Law (30 seasons), James E. Nelson (19 seasons), and Dennis McHugh (10 seasons).
Adam Nelson began his career in college basketball as a student, first at the University of South Carolina (1992–1994) and then Boston College (1994– 1996). Nelson worked for 1993 National Coach of the Year Eddie Fogler while at South Carolina, and 1999 National Coach of the Year Jim O’Brien at Boston College.
In 1996, Nelson was named Assistant Coach, and later promoted to Associate Head Coach at Curry College in Milton, Mass. Also during this time, Nelson gained valuable experience while serving as the Head Coach of the Southeast squad for the Bay State Summer Games. His team won the gold medal in 1997, and the silver in 1998. After a two year stint at Curry, Coach Nelson moved on to become a Division I Assistant at Holy Cross, and later Northeastern University.
After his time as an assistant, Nelson became one of the youngest head coaches in the country at the age of 26, when he accepted the job as the head coach at Becker College in 2000. While at Becker, Nelson recruited and coached the Rookie of the Year in the North Atlantic Conference in 2 out of his 3 seasons (2000-01 Abel Carmona, 2002-03 Albert Ortiz). The 2002-03 Becker team broke or tied 11 school records and hosted a first round NAC play-off game for the first time ever. The team also ended its 19 game (11 year) drought vs. league rival Mt. Ida College, and halted Lasell College’s remarkable NAC winning streak which extended over two seasons on 1/30/03.
After Becker, Nelson moved on to become the Head Coach Newbury College. There he and his staff successfully recruited the first Boston Globe and Boston Herald All-Scholastic player (Arch Mitchell) to wear a Nighthawk uniform since becoming a member of the NCAA. Nelson’s run at Newbury was capped off with one of the biggest wins in the programs history - a 76-73 victory over eventual ECAC Champion Wheaton College in February 2005.
Nelson’s first season at Suffolk saw his squad win 11 games while going 9-9 in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference. Junior guard John Murphy was named to the all-conference first team, while averaging 21.9 points per game. In April of 2006, Nelson received the Suffolk University Student Government Leadership Award recognizing him as the Outstanding Athletic Coach of the Year. In 2007, Nelson guided the Rams to nine victories and a berth in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference semi-finals after an upset triumph over Emerson in the league quarterfinals.
Nelson has gained great visibility over the past two years in Boston media circles, as he has served as a guest analyst for both the NCAA Basketball Championship and the NBA Finals for New England Cable News (NECN). Nelson has made several appearances on “Good Morning Live”, breaking down the brackets during NCAA "March Madness", as well as providing analysis during the Celtics run to the NBA Championship last season.
Nelson and his wife Deb live in West Quincy, Mass. with their children AJ, Jack and Mollie.
