Russ Reneau is the founder and CEO of Orange Fire Media LLC, combining his passions of baseball, UFC, trading cards, craft beer, graphic design and broadcasting to bring you the Houston Area Craft Brewery Map and the UFC Fight Cards Podcast. The Houston Area Craft Brewery Map began as a small project to help promote 40 local breweries in 2018, then became a taller task as the Houston brewery seen began to explode and now features 70 breweries and counting. The poster was made available for sale in 2023 and will be updated every January.

Russ also started the UFC Fight Cards Podcast in January 2023, discussing recent and upcoming UFC events and opening a box of UFC trading cards live. The show airs every Sunday at 9 p.m. CT on YouTube and can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible or wherever you find your podcasts. A Houston native and life-long Astros fan, the Orange Fire Media name is derived from a line of the song, "Here Come the Astros". Russ graduated from Baylor University with a bachelor's degree in journalism, then earned a Master's degree from Duquesne University in Sports Leadership. He has broadcast baseball and volleyball matches on ESPN+ and called football, basketball, baseball, softball, and volleyball games on audio platforms.
