From his early years in the United States Marine Corps to his pivotal role as the former Chief Communications Officer of Quest Nutrition, Bruce’s story is one of dedication, perseverance, and genuine passion for fostering meaningful connections.

Born and raised in Somerville, New Jersey, Bruce’s journey into public service began after high school when he joined the prestigious United States Marine Corps. Serving with dedication and valor, he excelled on the powerlifting team while experiencing classified assessments that honed his discipline and leadership skills. After four years of active duty and an additional eight years in the Marine Corps Reserve, Bruce transitioned to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a law enforcement officer.Joining the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), Bruce embarked on a fulfilling career in public safety, working across various units and assignments, including patrol, press relations, crime suppression, gang units, foot beats, traffic enforcement, and detective work. His exemplary service and courage were recognized with over 20 meritorious citations and the prestigious police star for bravery. Bruce was also personally selected to serve as an advisor on the CHRISTOPHER commission, showcasing his remarkable leadership abilities and commitment to making a difference.

During his time with the LAPD, Bruce’s entrepreneurial spirit and desire to contribute to the world in a different capacity led him to establish a prominent global executive protection business. His firm provided top-notch security services to major A-list artists, actors, and CEOs, earning him the trust and respect of high-profile individuals worldwide. Simultaneously, Bruce served as the Executive Vice President of Empire CLS Worldwide Chauffeured Services, a chauffeur service operating in over 700 cities worldwide, further solidifying his reputation as a versatile and dynamic business leader.

In 2010, serendipity struck when Bruce met the creators of Quest Nutrition at the gym. Intrigued by their protein bars, he recognized the potential to bring more exposure to their brand. Despite having little knowledge of the nutrition business, Bruce’s entrepreneurial drive and genuine desire to help others drove him to promote Quest’s products to his security company clients for free. This initial act of generosity marked the beginning of a transformative journey.

Embracing his role as Chief Communications Officer of Quest Nutrition in 2012, Bruce’s passion for connecting communities and fostering authentic relationships played a crucial role in the company’s astounding growth. Through his tireless efforts in business development, branding, global and domestic partnerships, events, special projects, athlete sponsorships, public relations, and media relationships, Bruce helped catapult Quest to become one of the fastest-growing sports nutrition companies in the world.

Under his strategic guidance, Quest Nutrition expanded to almost 90 countries and emerged as the number one selling protein bar of its kind. Their products became staples in GNC and Vitamin Shoppe stores worldwide, in addition to thousands of 7-Eleven outlets and numerous grocery stores across the United States. In just five years, Quest achieved a staggering 57,000% growth and was named the second fastest-growing company in North America by INC Magazine.

The culmination of Bruce’s efforts came in November 2019 when Quest Nutrition was acquired for a remarkable $1 billion cash deal. His instrumental role in shaping the brand’s trajectory earned him an equity share in the company, validating the significance of building impactful relationships and demonstrating value in every endeavor.

Bruce’s journey has been defined by his innate desire to motivate individuals to reach their fullest potential. Throughout his career, he has earned the trust and admiration of prominent business leaders, celebrities, and heads of state through his private security firm.
