Prior to launching his long and distinguished career in the investment industry, Bruce gained broad entrepreneurial and business experience across real estate, import/export, and the restaurant sector.

His enthusiasm, intellectual curiosity, and energy remain undiminished. 

Bruce joined Wealth Enhancement in 2021 through the acquisition of Oakwood Capital Management. As a Managing Director at Wealth Enhancement, he leverages his deep experience to mentor fellow advisors and cultivate long-term, consultative relationships with clients. Beyond his professional accomplishments, Bruce is a highly engaged community leader and philanthropic supporter throughout the Los Angeles area. He is the past President of We Benefit Children (WBC) and continues to serve on its Board of Directors. In 2026, Bruce has been a Trustee of the renowned Luskin Orthopedic Institute for Children, where he supports governance, philanthropic initiatives, and long-term institutional growth. 

Bruce has been married to his wife, Marilyn, of more than 39 years and is the proud father of two adult daughters, Alyssa and Briar. He enjoys traveling with his family—particularly on high-level global adventures—and has a passion for building, problem-solving, and lifelong learning.
