He moved to Alaska with his parents and siblings in February, 1968 when he was 9 years old.That first summer in Alaska found him streamside, fishing with his dad or alone, building a fort in the wilderness near his house. The woods quickly took a liking to Bruce and he to them.Since his dad was a preacher and his mother a Sunday School teacher, he learned to love the bible stories at a very young age. This greatly affected how he viewed creation. At the age of 14, Bruce began teaching the bible to other kids his age and soon decided this was God's calling upon his life. In 1981, He graduated from a Christian university in Tennessee and in 1982 married Lena Rose Ropke.Bruce now pastors a church in Fairbanks where he and his wife serve together.
