Bruce returned to Trinity, his childhood congregation, in 2007 with his spouse Elizabeth and daughter Jennifer, after serving the congregation of Zion Lutheran Church in Shoemakersville for 25 years. Bruce earned a B.S. in Music Education from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a major in organ and minors in piano and brass. Bruce donates his spare time directing the Rajah Shrine Chanters men's chorus and concert band, whose philanthropy supports the Shriners Hospitals for Children. Bruce is a District Manager at Allen Organ Company in Macungie, PA, and works with churches all over the world to design and install both digital and pipe organs. Travel to Portugal, Bolivia, Bermuda, Canada, and five visits to Lagos Nigeria to install and voice the largest organs on the African continent has afforded Bruce the opportunity to experience many styles of worship while meeting many warm and devout church-goers.
