Overview
I’ve been speaking professionally for 25 years and given over 1,100 keynote and workshop presentations to audiences of all sizes, from 12 to 1,200. I'm a Professional Member of National Speakers Association, and the author of “Desperate For Hope.” I speak extensively on hope, the Gospel in culture, life mission, and marriage. I do corporate talks on creating culture, developing leaders, navigating change, and the capital of caring. Using humor and stories, I keep your audience engaged and provide practical steps they can implement beyond the event. I understand the unique challenges event planners have to manage and do everything I can to minimize your problems and maximize your success.

We had Bruce come to our annual franchise conference as the keynote speaker for our awards dinner. Bruce was amazing throughout the entire process. A couple weeks before the event, he wanted to know all about our event, so he could tailor his talk specifically for our needs. He asked thoughtful questions about our culture, and the goals of our event. During the event, Bruce was a captivating presence! He delivered a thoughtful, motivating message that was geared specifically to our theme. We were delighted when he stayed after the event to meet and connect with our organization. Our group not only walked away with an amazing motivational talk, they walked away with a new friend.

Thanks so much Melissa! You have an amazing team at Spoiled Rotten Photography, and I was honored to be a part of your conference. Thank you for all you guys are doing to make the world a better place. Keep shining brightly!
Bruce is an exceptional addition to any speaker lineup! The messages he provided at our event were some of the most appreciated. He encouraged, equipped, and inspired attendees. Through his words, God was able to do some heart-provoking work amongst attendees. His unique background knowledge and his personal vulnerability gave him instant credibility and connection amongst listeners. Bruce is a professional, personable, flexible, and so easy to work with. And... He's FUN!

Thank you so much Alecia! It was great to work with you and your team. Your amazing organizational and relational leadership made it a real joy. I'm looking forward to serving together again at the GEMS National conference next year!
Bruce worked with our team from the onset to help brainstorm service content, flow and various creative elements.

Thanks so much Bob! It's always an honor to pour into young leaders. Thank you for your leadership and commitment to discipleship. Looking forward to working together in the future!
Bruce came to preach at our church during a difficult time of pastoral transition. He spoke a series of messages that brought hope and healing. His vulnerability and his humor were an added bonus to his comittment to biblical Truth. His style is both refreshing and challenging. I promise anyone you will not be bored with his teaching/preaching. His slide presentations are also modern and understandable.

What to Expect
I'm an experienced professional speaker and a Professional Member of the National Speakers Association. I've worked with a host of event planners through the years and do my very best to make your work simpler and enjoyable.
On stage, I use self-deprecating humor and personal stories to connect with and engage your audience. I'm passionate, vulnerable, authentic, and funny. And I tend to talk fast. Your audience will be encouraged and inspired, but they'll also leave with practical action steps they can take beyond the event.
Off stage, I do my best to connect with your folks one-on-one. I'm generally not huddled in a green room somewhere, but down on the floor greeting people, listening to their stories, praying with them, and letting them know they matter to God and to me.
As an inspirational speaker and Bible teacher, I connect people and their stories to God and His larger story, help them know they are loved no matter what, and encourage them to follow Jesus and find their hope in Him.
My ultimate goal is for your audience to have a profound encounter with God that changes things: their perspective, their attitude, their relationships, their life's work, their eternity.
