Bruce A. Morey was born and raised on a farm in rural
upstate New York—far from silver spoon status. Despite the fact that his
parents ensured he never went without, he knew even from a young age that he
shouldn't expect what he wanted to be handed to him. Financial responsibility
was a priority from the start. After working for several farmers and buying his
first car in high school, he enlisted in the military and spent nine years in
the Army. After his stint in the military was over, he began working in an
expansion factory in East Tennessee, working his way up to Facilities Manager
while earning a business degree, becoming a Red Cross instructor and an EMT.
His interest in the environmental, health and safety sides
of manufacturing presented the opportunity to join a company that let him focus
on that. He worked his way up to Regional Manager, responsible for 15
facilities, and has been there for the last 17 years. In the meantime, he
acquired several investment properties while running a music and video
production studio. Knowing that success wasn't a given, he now takes the
opportunity to share what he's learned.
