ello, my name is Dan Rutström, and here is a little bit about myself:

     I am 53 years old, and was born in the north of Sweden. I have been working in different areas. After my student degree, I put on the “blue beret,” working as UN staff in Cyprus. In between, I got a forestry education and was working in the field a couple of seasons, caring for the wildlife and that sort of stuff. I then also got a mechanical education and worked in that field from1971-1983. My main interests in those days were fishing and photography. During this period, I got married and had a child, but the marriage broke down in 1982. In early 1983, I first got in contact with Dianetics, running into a guy who sold me a book on the subject. In 1985 I met my wife, Tuija, and we got married the next year. We had three lovely boys within a short time span: Albert, Edvard and Erik. I was at that time doing work taking care of elderly people, to see what that area was like, and also driving sanitation trucks in the city. In the winter 1988/89 I became a business partner with some guys running a cleaning company. From a very small size we expanded up to 110 employees. I was working as Finance Chief and later as Executive Director. Nowadays, I work in the Test-department of Silhouet Profil Analys AB. As a team-mate, I am glad to help in expanding this company. It’s a very good group to work within, and we are setting an example with our good job. I am also a Patron member of the International Association of Scientologists.
