Bruce's Story
About the dreads? Was a yodeler and Alp-horn player in a Reggae and steel drum band in the Caribbean, mon.
Condensed verison of past thirty year:
Attended The George Washington University and majored in Business. Took the advice of a guest speaker and founded own business - promoting, importing, assembling, test flying and teaching others to fly experimental Canadian aircraft. Features on the business appeared in: The Washington Post, The Washington Times, Aviation Week and Space Technology, VA Lawyers Weekly, Entrepreneur Magazine, etc., etc. We did airshows weekly in additon to flying our clients. It was an eight day week, every week.
Took business trips to Ontario and British Columbia for great scenry, travel and adventure. Flew in the Flying Circus Airshow for 15 years as well as the Cascade and Rocky Mountains.
After selling share in aviation business, served as a photojournalist for major market publications and won awards for international features. Visit: GreatWriteUp dot com. Sorry, no hyperlinks allowed, so we must speak in top secret code. Shhhh! Mums the word.

sicians. Still see them regularly. See You Tube video under GreatWriteUp!
SCUBA diving (am currently Rescue Diver, working on Dive Master certification next month) you never know what fish will show up on the reef or "wall" - some of which descend from 100' to thousands of feet. Have hung out with curious baracuda, tarpon, nurse sharks, dolphins (in the wild, not incarcerated), manta rays while diving all over the world.
Married CPA/VP of Finance for major non-profit on the beach in St. John (thus the dreds, mon). Who woulda thunk? Went diving with sea turtles, drift diving, snorkling, hiking, etc. while there.
In addition to writing articles and photography, am working on several books: own aviation adventures; nature poetry and life with diabetes.
We currently have several business interests that keep us going 24/7 - to serve you better!
Love spending time with the pets and advocating for animal welfare.
Mission in life: get everything in! "Life is but a fleeting shadow."
p.s. Am now very serious, not so goofy anymore. Serious, very serious. I'm serious! On that SERIOUS note:
My impersonation of a CNN reporter or anchor "If you will. If you will, if you will........If you will."
Wow, man, this is getting serious. Seriously!
