About

Prior to starting his long and distinguished career in the investment industry, Bruce gained broad entrepreneurial and business experience in the real estate, import/export and restaurant industries. But it’s been in the financial sector where Bruce has made a lasting impact. In a career well into its fifth decade, delivering consistent success at the highest echelons of business (including co-founding his own firm), Bruce’s enthusiasm and energy remain undiminished. Bruce joined Wealth Enhancement Group in 2021 through the Oakwood Capital Management acquisition. As a Managing Director at Wealth Enhancement Group he uses his skills and his experience to mentor other advisors and to develop long-term, consultative relationships with clients. He is also an multi-winner (2017 and 2021-2023) of the FIVE STAR Wealth Manager award.


Outside of work, Bruce is a visible and active community member, and contributor to numerous charitable organizations in the Los Angeles area. He is a father to Alyssa and Sarah and has been married to Marilyn for more than 35 years.
