Eric Ruest

February 3rd, 2007 by Progressive Wednesday

Eric Ruest was born in our nation’s capital and raised in upstate New York, less than a mile from our neighbors to the North. Since graduating from the SUNY Fredonia, he has held a wide range of jobs, from the whitest of white collar (A/V Specialist at an online testing center) to the bluest of blue (day laborer for 10 years). It took less than a month of the oppressive heat of Florida for Eric to start pining for the blizzards of Buffalo, but he stuck it out for four years as his wife finished her schooling. The day she graduated they hopped in their car with their nine (count’em, nine) animals, and left their mobile home. (Yes, they lived in a real mobile home.)

While his wife is at work taking care of sick puppies, Eric is at home taking care of their beautiful daughter. Take that 1950s! During her naptimes, he’s worked on a handful of local and national campaigns. Don’t talk to him while his Buffalo Sabres are beating up on their unlucky opponent, and watch your fingers when you reach into the bowl of Buffalo wings: he might bite them off.
