He also co-authored What to Do With a Major in Education for CliffsNotes.

A Michigan native and ardent fly fisherman, Bruce resides on a river near Hemingway country with his dog, two cats, and several fully stocked humidors. He graduated from Michigan State University and is the proud father of two adult daughters, Emmeline and Jessalyn, who promise they’ll list him as a lifeline should they ever appear on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire.
