Bradlee James Arendt was born on 11/14/1982 in Forest Lake, MN. Having three older siblings, Bradlee was dubbed the black sheep of the family because of his Blonde hair and blue eyes, unlike the dark hair, dark eyes of the rest of his family. Bradlee also differs from his family politically, and his parents were quite shocked when five months ago he announced he was moving to Colorado to join Barack Obama's campaign. He enjoys photography, writing, singing, dancing, teaching, yo-yoing, and making people laugh.
