Bruce is a senior consultant providing expertise in management strategy, planning and logistics, community engagement, training, tourism development, environmental solutions, research, and communication services.

He first came to the Arctic as a geologic field assistant in 1978, involved in mapping geologic formations around Baker Lake. Since then he has lived and worked in Nunavut, having the pleasure of living in several communities in the Qiqiqtaaluk and Kivalliq Regions.
