At age 18, Bruce was partially paralyzed in an automobile accident and after doctors warned that he might never walk again, he left the hospital six months later under his own power. After a two-year struggle to regain full use of his body, Bruce went on to become a two-time state champion in racquetball and played for a state championship softball team. He was the head baseball coach, and assistant football coach at Van Buren High School in N.W. Ohio and also the tennis coach at The University of Findlay.

Today, being able to talk from personal experience, he speaks to groups of all types...teachers, students, salespeople, secretaries, executives, etc....on how attitude makes the difference in whatever we do. He is an internationally known presenter on motivational tactics and metal toughness training for business and sports, using high energy, interactive techniques to inspire and delight his audiences.

He is one of the most "in-demand" speakers in Ohio and has become one of the busiest speakers in the business, in spite of only being in the motivational industry for a few years. He has written many columns for several different sports magazines and has been featured on many radio and television talk shows.
