Meet Bruce
Bruce calls St. Louis, Missouri, his hometown, but his father’s work required frequent transfers, so Bruce, an only child, often moved with his parents in those early years.
He completed his education at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, and quickly found his way to Cincinnati, Ohio, and Procter & Gamble. Like his father’s work, P&G required relocation. While living in Indianapolis, Indiana, he met and married his wife, Joyce. More moves followed: Kansas City, Kansas; Palatine, Illinois (a Chicago suburb); and Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Bruce then decided to leave his nomadic corporate life and start his own business. The couple chose Charlotte, North Carolina, as their new forever home and have been a part of the community since 1979. His business, McIntyreSales, was a foodservice sales and marketing agency that grew to represent manufacturers like Nestle, Smuckers, Otis Spunkmeyer, and more.
Joyce and Bruce have two children and four grandchildren. The couple, a gregarious golden retriever and a shy indoor cat live happily in a small retirement cottage. Bruce believes in storytelling and in “story listening,” and how it is in the listening that we start to understand. He began posting his stories on Choices Do Matter, a weekly blog that ran for four years.
He has now written his first book: There Are No Answers Here, Only Questions.
Like everything in life, the more we share, the more we learn, and the better our lives can be. So, let’s have a discussion. If you have a group that would enjoy learning more about his memoir, you can arrange for him to speak on the importance of telling one’s story or any part of the book.
