Department: Art & Design

Bruce loves the small and friendly community of Tabor. He especially enjoys seeing students arrive, not really knowing what graphic design is, and leave with portfolios to be proud of.

Bruce intends to produce decidedly Christian artists. That is, he wants students to be aware of the message they’re carrying. Some messages are opposed to Christ and his kingdom, and as designers, Bruce wants his students to be able to recognize what messages they should and should not choose to carry.

With his wife, Janet, Bruce has eight children: Calvin, Monica, Lewis, Amy, Samuel, Elizabeth, Taylor, Isobel, and Owen.
