Milton Russell (Bas as he is affectionately known), is the Chairman of Friends of Whitehouse Montego Bay. He is one of the founding members of this body.

Milton was born in Whitehouse, and up until the point of his migration, was the President and Team Manager of the Seaview Youth Club. 

In addition to being at the helm of Seaview since 1990, he has held several leadership positions in almost all areas of professional, civic, community, and the political field. He is a past Treasurer of both the St. James Football Association and the PNP North West St. James Constituency, plus the former Councilor of the Montego Bay West Division, in the St. James Parish Council. He is also a past member of the Montego Bay Boys & Girls Club, and the Montego Bay YMCA.

An Accountant by profession, Milton is presently employed as an Accounting Supervisor at ARAMARK Corporation, (a Fortune 500 company in Philadelphia, PA), which is a position that he has held with distinction since being there. He has also held several other senior management positions in Jamaica, starting from being an Assistant Controller at Sandals Resorts, to being the Financial Controller at Tropical Tours, The Western Mirror and Cornwall Asphalt.

Milton is the brainchild, and chief architect of the Pride Park Sports Facility in Whitehouse, which is a project that includes contributions from his own personal resources. Under his guidance, the community playing field has seen a major transformation, moving from being a scrimmage field; to what is now a multi-purpose sports and entertainment facility, which is aptly named Pride Park. 

This facility has evoked a great sense of pride and joy for the entire community, as they are now able to host competitive home games in the St. James Division One Football Competition.  

He has continuously articulated a vision of seeing Whitehouse develop into a community where kids can have access to a modern Homework Center, fully staffed and equipped with proper learning tools, and Internet access.  

Mr. Russell possesses an active social conscience, and is a community oriented person at heart. He has always strongly believed in leveraging his position as a leader, to assist with the developmental needs of the community, whilst at the same time, highlight the positives of this quaint little seaside village.

As Councilor of the community (between 2003 to 2007), through his rational and pragmatic approach, he was single-handedly responsible for bringing Cable Television service to the community of Whitehouse. During his tenure, he also ensured the paving of the old road leading to the community Fishing Beach, provided a proper garbage incinerator (skip) for the community, and erected lights on the fishing beach.

The implementation of this lighting facility has made the fishing beach more safe and secure, plus provides an avenue for the fishermen to be able to work and make fish traps at nights.

Milton is an avid Football fan, and is a life long, die-hard supporter of Manchester United.
