Hi, my name is Joe Ruden. I was born and raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin, but have lived in Fort Wayne, Indiana for 3 years. I studied at the University of Memphis. I joined the O’Daniel Group because I wanted to work for a dealer again and have worked here for about 1 year. I am married to my wonderful wife, Barbara and we have 9 kids. I love to do woodworking and wood-turning in my free time. I pride myself in being handy, I will try to fix/repair anything that can be repaired.
