Welcome Bruce!

We want to welcome our new sales employee Bruce Shuck to Family Marine! 

Bruce has an awesome and inspiring story. 

He grew up on his family farm about 15 minutes outside of Willmar and is living there today. 

Bruce joined the military in 1974 and served in field artillery in Germany until 1976. March 18th 2015 is his 41st anniversary from joining the army!

When he got back from the army he got married and had two daughters. He then worked on his own dairy farm. After milking cows he decided to go back to school and got a degree in Business Administration from Southwest State University.

He then went into many different businesses including selling grain bins, commercial feed, and selling conveyors in Parcel Packages Industry for 9 years.

In February 2000 doctors found a small lump in his neck, which turned out to be non-hodgkin’s lymphoma. Bruce said this was a life-changing event for him that makes him cherish every single day and take nothing for granted. Bruce has been in remission since 2004. He works out and eats healthy to prolong the time of, unfortunately, when the cancer will become active again.

Bruce loves working with and being around people and is very excited to help assist customers with family oriented products like boats and pontoons

We are very excited to have him here at Family Marine!
