In 1870, his great-grand uncles, Fleming H. Revell and Dwight Moody, started publishing Christian books. Following in the footsteps of his great-grand uncles, grandfather, and father, Bruce joined the Fleming H. Revell Company in 1975 after graduating with honors from Pepperdine University, Malibu, CA.

- 1994-1996 Random House. Working with then Chairman and CEO, Alberto Vitale, Bruce started Moorings, an imprint dedicated to publishing Christan books, and served as VP, Publisher.
- 1996 to present. Literary Management Group. Feeling that the Christian publishing industry and authors could benefit from a full-service intellectual property firm that specialized in literary representation and consulting, Bruce founded Literary Management Group. Over the last decade, Bruce has been aiding and assisting authors, writers, publishers and owners/licensees of intellectual property in the efforts to develop and distribute Christian content in all forms including books, audios, videos, seminars, and educational materials.
