Bruce retired from Honeywell in 2009 after a 30-year career in finance. He was introduced to trout fishing by his uncles on the rivers of the Keweenaw Peninsula and started fly fishing while working in Upstate New York (in Orvis’s backyard). A work transfer sent him to Troy, Michigan where he started looking for new fishing waters and found Gates Lodge. Rusty told him about an annual event to give back to the river and so became his participation in the River Cleanup and Anglers of the Au Sable. He bought a place by the river in 2012 and moved up to Grayling full time in 2021.
Bruce and his wife Karen can be found either fishing or kayaking the Au Sable.
