He graduated from Palm Beach High in 1964, attended Georgia Tech University on an ROTC scholarship, where he graduated in 1968 with a degree in Aerospace Engineering.

Leaving the corporate world and returning to Florida, Bruce and his wife Jennifer purchased a wholesale flower nursery in Bushnell, FL to begin a new life as a farmer, a profession that he loved.

Bruce was an active member of Seven Rivers Presbyterian Church, a participant in the Pool Skool water aerobics at Whispering Pines park, and a talented woodworker.
