Bruce's Story
Life
My BioÂIt appears that hardly anyone places their bios here. Maybe IÂll be the first!
In a nutshell,
For those of you who remember me, I was an athlete/class clown/Guitarist, who paid little attention to academics or grades. My counselors were stunned when I actually graduated!
Well, I got a real estate license immediately after graduation and amongst other things sold houses, played with my band in clubs on weekends and raised and bred various reptiles such as Boas, Pythons, prehensile tailed skinks, etcÂ
You know, the same thing that everyone else does :-)
Around 1990 I started thinking that just maybe I wasnÂt as intellectually challenged as my high school grades would have indicated. So, I thought going to law school might be fun. What was I thinking? Hmm?
Now, being aware of my scholastic shortcomings, I had never deigned to get any serious college units. However, I had heard that if you scored high enough on the CLEP exam I could get admitted into law school even without any undergraduate degree.
So, I took the CLEP-- It asked me if I was smart, I said yes, and it apparently believed me. Based on the results of the CLEP I was admitted to law school and graduated #3 in our class of about 100.
I was actually kind of proud of the result but I found a major problem. While spending the last year of school clerking for the Law School Dean, I had the opportunity to see the practice of law up close and personal. I realized that even though the Âstudy of law was fascinating, the Âpractice of law appealed to me about as much a trip to the dentist.
So, I did the same thing that IÂm sure you would have done. I got a job selling cars.
As much as IÂm embarrassed to admit it, I was a...Expand for more
ctually a reasonably good car salesman (IÂm sure a result of the deep seated values instilled from Roseville High), but I kept thinking that there must be some way to marry my legal education, and financial background with the internet. But like so many others I did nothing with the idea for a long time. UntilÂ
My band was playing at Craw DadÂs on the river. I saw a yacht, (a really nice one!), and I asked myself, Âwill I be able to buy that selling cars? The answer was no. So I quit my job the next day, went to BorderÂs books, bought some books on the internet and started building a website that incorporated the things that I had begrudgingly learned over the last few years and created the All Solutions Network. Allsolutionsnetwork.com
We do real estate loans, bankruptcies, credit repair, and offer Vitamins and Merchandise and other odds and ends nationwide.
Oh, and along the way, I was married twice and am currently married to a wonderful woman (Heather), who has 3 children from a previous marriageÂ(by the way, what makes her so great is that she runs the loan company so that I get to sit in a corner playing computer games all day, at least, she seems to think thatÂs what I do). Additionally, We have a 3 year old together who is absolutely the apple of my eye. Plus, I have a 25 year old son (Clifton), who is now a school teacher and a 23 year old daughter (Angela), who is the best loan processor in Sacramento.
Both my son and daughter have recently had their first child.
Most people would think that makes me a Grandfather. But that just shows a general lack of creative thinking. IÂm actually only an uncle. How do I know this? SimpleÂ
IÂm not that old! IÂm not! IÂm not! IÂm not!
