Working in diverse roles that include youth sailing coach, sailing director of the Houston Yacht Club, and team member and operations manager of a prominent West Coast racing team; Bruce has raced with, and worked alongside, both novice sailors and sailing legends. He has first-hand experience with sailboats ranging from dinghies to 70’ offshore racers.
