He is currently developing a safety course for children 6 to 10 years of age and youth 11 to 17 years of age. Bruce truly believe that accidental shootings could be reduced if more youth were knowledgeable of firearms and not just curious of firearms.

Bruce’s commitment is to treat everyone with courtesy and respect and help each student gain confidence and to succeed. He believes in teaching small groups to give as much personal instruction and attention as possible. He will not spread political propaganda or sell products in his classes. Bruce teaches his students to respect life, support and comply with law enforcement personnel, and to carry firearms safely and courteously.
Bruce’s family also enjoys shooting at the range and often help with classes as safety officers during the proficiency course. They live in Richardson, and Rowlett, Texas. Bruce believes the one thing about eternal truths; that they are always true and will stand the test of time. Safety must always come first in all that we do and how we do it and it will stand the test of time.
