Bruce Hansen was born in 1947. He served six years in the US Navy, and graduated from the University of Washington at the top of his class. He risked his fortune and management career to develop and master the field of motivational speaking. He developed a time management training system, as well as a published time management book. He started a results consultant firm and coached many individuals and businesses to increased success. He retired from those endeavors and started a new career as a real estate agent, which he did successfully until he retired a second time. Bruce is now embarking on his next career, as an author. Alpha Blue is his debut book; his historical novel Art of Deception has yet to be published. Bruce has two sons, twenty-three years apart in age. His successes and failures at raising his sons inspired him to write this motivational guide for young men.
