Bruce is a supporter of many charitable organizations and services on several advisory boards. Most recently, Governor Schwarzenegger appointed him the Athletic Boxing Commissioner for the state of California.

Bruce is a highly respected and much sought-after motivational speaker. His message of “Finding the Champion Within”, which is also the title of his latest book, is relevant to everyone, from high school students, to corporate Vice Presidents.
