Any information that isn't relevant to the position you are applying is too much.
Try to be in the hiring (or HR) manager's shoe. As you sit at your desk with a stack of a couple of hundreds of resumes to look through. If a resume doesn't grab your attention within 2 seconds, it is gone.
Best wishes.

ruthless objectives
the objective of a resume is to get an interview. period. (if you put everything in the resume, what is there to discuss at the interview?) the person who sifts the resumes is looking for 3 or 4 to interview.
the objective of the interview is to get a job offer. that's all.

Write them out long (problem - solution - accomplishment) and shorten them and make them to the point.
the solution and accomplishment go on the resume.
save the problem for the interview.
