A man of spiritual faith and son of a prominent minister, Bruce adheres to his value system as the foundation of his success and strategic outlook. His vision, long standing-relationships, and management skills have allowed him to nurture long-term collaborations with C-Suite Leaders in school districts, EdTech firms, non-profits, and private sector education companies on a global scale. 

As Bruce traveled along his chosen education services career pathway, he was drawn to the contagious passion of his colleagues, clients, and students to advocate for the underserved. Bruce found the passion and ambition to serve did not always translate into direct benefits to all students, especially those from underserved communities. Over the years, he continued to build his expertise and a network of leaders across the education community, and eventually connected with Frame Change co-founder Cabral while working on mutual projects together. They shared the same concerns and observations, recognizing the optimum approach to enact change and promote the advancement of student success was to launch Frame Change.
