Business Development Manager
Bruce has always had an eye for creating things as well as diving headfirst into challenges that beset him or his companies. While working for 5/3 Bank, he decided he wanted to try working for himself. He and an acquaintance explored the landscape and created a company that could use machine vision and computers to solve issues that human capital can not. They started Witness Inspection in the late 90s to do just that. Bruce was responsible for business development/sales during his time there. The company still operates today with one of its original employees as the owner.

After leaving Witness Bruce started another company called Blu Perspective. Building on past relationships Bruce helped build the company from one location in Michigan to locations in 6 different states, and one in Juarez Mexico. This company provides both quality services and manufacturing support services, such as packaging, kitting, and light assembly. During his time at Blu Perspective, he helped the company navigate through a difficult financial challenge – the recession. Bruce felt fortunate to interact with all levels of employees while there, having an open-door policy for everyone. The opportunity to mentor and support others was very meaningful for him. This company still operates today as well.
The next few years Bruce worked for other companies on a contracting business. He enjoyed learning new business models and concepts while helping those companies grow. However, something was missing in his life. Money and the things money can buy became less important. Working for people whom he respected and working for the right reasons became much more important. He then stumbled upon The Job Post, a social enterprise of the Guiding Light: the perfect fit for him. An opportunity to make a positive impact on the world while he continues to develop and help our organization grow is a match truly made in heaven.
