Bruce has been dedicated to agriculture from a young age, growing up on the farm and learning the value of hard work and community early on. Alongside his father and two brothers, he built a strong foundation in agriculture as well as the seed business, selling Mycogen seed for several years. Today, he owns Templeton Machinery Auction and sells skid loader attachments to meet the needs of area farmers. Bruce is committed to representing farmers' interests and advancing opportunities for rural families. Bruce and his wife, Anissa, reside in Templeton and have 5 grown children and 6 grandchildren. After years of volunteering for his family's many activities, he now has time to dedicate to the board. He has previously served on the TADC as well as the Knights of Columbus. Outside of farming, Bruce enjoys family time and service as a sports referee.
