Good people
Deep roots

The teams he cheers for, the people he shows up for, and the familiar places that feel like home. This is a little more of Bruce’s world.

Always part
of the Beach

For Bruce, Long Beach State is a connection that runs through family, friendships, and years of showing up.

He has long supported Beach athletics, with a special place in his heart for men’s volleyball. His son Nick MacRae now leads the program as head coach.

That support reaches beyond the stands. The athletics department named Bruce among the donors who helped make the team’s 2023 European tour possible.

Service takes different forms. These are some of the organizations where Bruce gives his time and support.

As chairman of the board, Bruce helps preserve stories of service and connect the next generation with our history.

A board member since 2004 and past president, Bruce supports OCSAC’s work connecting the community with the people who serve it.

As an Honoraries executive committee member, Bruce helps support Long Beach police officers, their families, and the wider community.

As a foundation director, Bruce supports resources and programs serving officers and the Anaheim community.
