thus affecting the lives of generations of children.”

About Bruce

Even as a young man, I wanted to help children and families. In college I took Child Development and other related courses.

I have spent many years working with children in various volunteer organizations. I have worked in many positions in the Boy Scouts of America. Some positions working directly with children ranging in age from 6 to 18 and in other positions training scout leaders. I also worked for many years as a Big Brother with the Big Brother/Big Sisters program and eventually on the Board of Directors of Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Southeastern Idaho. I have also served over 25 years in my Church teaching children ranging in age from 2 to age 12 years old.

I have spent many years as a successful business owner and entrepreneur. I started my first at business at age 5. I have spent many years in business and I am a respected business leader. Over the years I have employed hundreds of people, owned several corporations and served as Chairman of the Board of directors for several organizations. I currently work as President/CEO of EZ-NetTools Inc. This position gives me the freedom I need to work with children.

I have also been a single parent and have had many of the struggles of a single parent raising six children. I have also been an adoptive parent. I adopted two boys from an orphanage in Moscow Russia at ages 22 months and 3 years old. I have spent much time studying and learning about attachment and bonding. I am a devoted and loving father.

I feel that boding and attachment are a critical element in every child’s life. I have spent much time studying these topics and working toward strong attachment with my adopted children, my biological children and other children I have worked with. Build Trust is key to changing a child’s life. I love sharing what I have learned and my experiences with other parents. I am also an independent “Love and Logic” facilitator.
