Bruce began his career in 1984 with Merrill Lynch, training on Wall Street. But shortly after, he realized that whenever money moves it has an impact â and without tremendous forethought those impacts can be quite negative. </p> 1395 1396<p>He founded Newground to change this â to serve clientsâ long-term financial needs while harnessing the power of business for good. </p> 1397 1398<p dir="ltr">Bruce grew up on a Virginia farm thatâs known five generations of his family. Some of his strongest memories involve gatherings on the old stone porch as dusk deepened into night, where the family would sing songs, share stories, and recite poetry for hours â till only voices emerged through the dark to ignite his boyhood thoughts with their vivid imagery. </p> 1399 1400<p dir="ltr">From this sprang a love of history and a sense of caretaking â a dedication to tend and conserve all thatâs good for both present use and future benef
1400it. This informs Bruceâs thinking about what the true purpose of business should be â a servant, not to money itself but to people, nature, and the common good â and it led him to create the client-centric, future-focused firm that Newground is today.</p> 1401 1402<h3 dir="ltr"> 1403<br> 1404</h3> 1405<div class="accordion"><a class="toggle-accordion hero" href="#">Professional Experience â</a> 1406<div class="accordion-content"> 1407 1408<p class="is-m0"><strong>Newground Social Investment</strong></p> 1409 1410<p class="is-m0">Seattle, WA â Founder, Chief Executive. 1994-present.</p> 1411 1412<p class="is-m0">Registered Investment Advisor: Comprehensive, values-aligned money management and financial planning for individuals and institutions. </p> 1413 1414<p class="is-m0"> 1415<br> 1416</p> 1417 1418<p class="is-m0"><strong>Investor Voice</strong></p> 1419 1420<p class="is-m0">Seattle, WA â Founder, Chief Executive. 2008-present.</p> 1421 1422<p class="is-m0">Shareholder engagement and analytic services for institutional investors, public funds, and others.</p> 1423 1424<p class="is-m0"> 1425<br> 1426</p> 1427 1428<p class="is-m0"><strong>Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR)</strong></p> 1429 1430<p class="is-m0">New York, NY â Board of Governors. 1994-1998.
