My name is Christopher Rutledge. I was born in 1981 in Edmonds, Washington. I have one brother, Brett, who was born in 1984. When I was 6, my family moved to Dallas, Texas. I lived there from the first through third grades. In the middle of the third grade, I moved from Dallas to Spokane, Washington. After living there for 9 months, we moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota. We were there for about 3 years before moving to Chicago, Illinois. I lived there from the 7th through 10th grades. After 10th grade, we moved to Buffalo, New York. I lived in Buffalo from the beginning of 11th grade to halfway through 12th grade. Halfway through 12th grade, we moved back to Minneapolis. It was there that I graduated high school from Maple Grove Senior High. After high school, I went to North Hennepin Community College for one year. After that, I moved back to Seattle and attended Edmonds Community College for two years. I am currently finishing up a degree in Business Administration at the University of Washington. I will graduate in August, 2005.

My main interests are hockey, guitar, skiing, and other outdoor sports. My favorite bands are U2, Radiohead, Third Eye Blind and Pink Floyd. My favorite sports teams are the Buffalo Sabres, Seattle Seahawks, University of Washington Football and University of Minnesota hockey. After graduation, I hope to do something in the financial realm, preferably somewhere in the midwest.
