Bruce works full time in the practice, coordinating time off with Geoff and Andrea. When not working Bruce enjoys cycling to maintain fitness and hiking some of New Zealand’s great walks. His Airedale Terrier "Tasman" and Pekingese "Oscar" can sometimes be seen at the clinic. His Burmese cat "Tia" also shares his home in Greenhithe.
