Bruce served as a Captain in the Royal Marines Commandos before becoming active in politics. Originally from Highland Perthshire, he and his wife have called Edinburgh home since 2013 and find it a great place to start a family.

Prior to joining the Armed Forces, Bruce completed an undergraduate degree in Economics and a MSc in Strategic Studies both at Aberdeen University. Now working in the thriving Edinburgh tech sector, he loves the work life balance that living and working in the city brings. In his spare time he mainly gets his small family out for adventures round the city.
