Bruce joined IBM in 1982 as a 3081 Systems Test Technician in Poughkeepsie, NY, testing and debugging 3081 and 3090 mainframes before shipment.

The technical assistance from him and the other 11 technicians allowed IBM France to ship the mainframes on time. Bruce joined the MVS Storage Management team in Poughkeepsie in 1987.

He implemented DFSMS, ABARS, RMM, and ADSM while providing day-to-day support of various MVS images in Poughkeepsie.
