His career spans nearly four decades, during which he has passionately worked to enhance independent living for individuals with disabilities and ensure they have the support they require.

Under his leadership, CDR has become a pivotal organization within the disability rights movement, tackling important issues like accessible housing and public transportation and promoting alternatives to institutional care. One of Bruce's major initiatives was a 2000 project that focused on transitioning individuals from nursing homes to community-based settings. This initiative aligned with the 1999 Olmstead decision's principle of providing services in the most integrated settings possible and demonstrated his dedication to improving the quality of life for individuals with disabilities. Bruce's advocacy extends beyond local projects to influence disability policy on state and national levels. His contributions have been instrumental in implementing the Community First Choice Option and working with governmental agencies to push for broader disability rights and integration.
