“The greatest gift we can give to the next generation is the gif of a great example” … “Never Destroy a young persons dream by telling them what they can’t do”

After 34 years of service Bruce is most proud of the relationships he’s built and the joy he feels from mentoring others.

He reminds us not to rob ourselves of a wealth of knowledge that may exist outside of our own perception. “Surround yourself with people who look, think, and feel differently from you”

Lean in and hear his journey from being a teenager in Columbia SC in the 70’s to later becoming the CIO of the United States Army. What he thought would be a short career turned into become a Ranger, traveling the World, learning to be a Leader and building mental #resilience by being part of something bigger than himself.

One person saw something in him when he couldn’t see it in himself and instilled a passion for people. That one determined leader changed the trajectory of multiple generations with their generosity and set Bruce on a path to a gratifying life.

Bruce gives us an honest account of his own experience with #militarytransition and the 3 Major phases of exiting and finding a career for the next person preparing to transition.
