For the past 15 years, he has also been an instructor for the Texas State Florists Association, where he continues to share his expertise with aspiring florists. Bruce's dedication to the floral industry is reflected in his past leadership roles, including President of the Texas State Florists Association and Unit President for Teleflora.

Bruce specializes in Tropical Nouveau designs, sympathy arrangements, and anything that emphasizes line and structure. His favorite flowers are Gloriosa Lilies and Anthurium, which he loves for their unique textures. When he's not designing stunning floral creations, Bruce enjoys cooking and has a surprising background in vocal performance from his college days!
