Benjamin Truman Rutledge I recently graduated college. I went back to school after working a variety of jobs that didn't fit what I wanted to do in life. I put myself through school all the while working 40 plus hours a week and during my last year raising my daughter with my wife. I worked hard to get my education and I work even harder in my job as a lighting technician in the film industry here in Wilmington, NC. I have had a passion for writing since I was in high school I used to carry around notebooks filled with notes, stories, and lyrics that I would think of throughout the day. I still do that now, thanks to technology it is kept conveniently in my smartphone. I have had a love of the written word for most of my life, there is something comforting in reading and writing. I would not consider myself to be an erudite but I have a vast knowledge of many subjects and am constantly thirsting for knowledge.
