INSPIRATION
Three men Bruce worked for that stand out in his life: Frank Warga, Harry Larson, and Herb Karsche. Each made a positive impression in their unique way.
CHALLENGES
Sometimes you can look in the mirror and realize you’ve become bigger than life. Along with his real job, Bruce decided to create his own company where they built and sold camper shells, a company that didn’t succeed. “Arrogance is something you often don’t see coming… it sneaks into your back pocket.” – Bruce Junor.
