Hey! My name is Bruce, I’m a senior here at Olivet. I spend more time running around campus than walking through it. Sometimes my cross country routes take me through campus, and other times I’m just running late for a meeting. I find a busy life is better than a boring one.

Oddly enough, I don’t attend Olivet College just to run cross country. I am a business administration major with a dual concentration in marketing and management. So if you notice blogs about leadership, revenue, or promotions, you know why.

I grew up only a few miles from Olivet College, in Charlotte Michigan. There I was homeschooled until eighth grade, at that point I decided to run cross country and track. Turns out you can only participate in a school sports if you attend the school. So, I started at Charlotte High School my freshmen year.  It took me a year to grow into my personality. By sophomore year I knew most of the school, found a home on the cross country team, and managed to become the busiest I’d ever been.  So, if you see blogs about small towns, quirky friends, or being homeschooled, you know why.

After my senior year of high school, I spent the most life changing summer of my life at a church camp: Camp Barakel. Being a camp counselor is my favorite job to date. I’m positive that my friends are sick of all my “camp stories,” but camp is a part of me now and it follows me everywhere I go. So, if you notice blogs about volleyball, bonfires, hammocking, Bible verses and the outdoors, you know why.

I love to be involved on campus, I love to read, I love to race, I love to hyper analyze movies, and I love spontaneity. In a nutshell, I’m too energetic for my own good, and, at the very least, I hope you find it entertaining.
