BLAKE RUANE

Others read. I write.
(Well, to be clear, I also read, too. I can do both.)

Who is Blake Ruane?

I mean, other than someone who refers to himself in the third person on his own website.

I've held a number of different titles, but there is one I keep coming back to: writer. I've been writing since I first put pencil to paper (although I favor a keyboard and a monitor these days). Everywhere I’ve worked from college up until now, I’ve been fortunate enough to utilize my talent for writing and passion for storytelling to craft compelling content for a variety of different channels.

What am I good for?

Microsoft Office

I mean, I can't NOT mention I'm proficient with Microsoft Office.

Leadership

I've been told I'm a natural leader, but I don't know about that. I just lead when everyone else will only follow.

Work Ethic

My goal in life is for someone to nickname me Mr. Dependable. I take pride in my work, and I never want to let anyone down.

Creative Writing

Believe it or not, I've been writing since I could read, and I've grown quite fond of it. I can't imagine myself doing anything else.
