MY BLOG PERSONA
Despite the painful reality that I am not as cool or hip as I want to be or think I am, I have put together a few ego::blogs filled with links, musings and other outlets for my manic/overactive need to mentally, technologically, politically, culturally, emotionally and theologically spew. I hope you find SOMETHING helpful for the journey.

MY SNARKY BIO 
Just trying to make it and help others do the same . . . as I go through life as a husband, father, son, grandchild, brother, third generation Filipino/Chinese American, pastor, mediocre guitarist and drummer, Oakland A’s FANatic, motorcycle enthusiast and total post-modern, culturally creative BOBO-fied Presbyterian follower of Jesus . . . or something like that?

MY CHURCH BIO
An ordained minister since 1995, this 30+ something California native is the founding pastor of Mission Bay Community Church. Bruce just loves Northern California and San Francisco and is excited about the possibilities for the ministry in the Mission Bay and Potrero Hill districts of the city. He graduated from San Francisco State University with a special major in Asian American Studies, Sociology, and Religion in 1990 and from San Francisco Theological Seminary in 1995. He has served the Presbyterian Church (USA) over the years as a preacher, worship leader, and keynoter.

As the main speaker / preacher / talking head at MBCC, Bruce believes that a good message is one that is relevant, is compelling, and creates an emotional and intellectual connection between life and faith. He is firmly convicted that life is just chaotic and that the key to finding security amidst the chaos is not to put life in a rigidly controlled box, but to embrace and claim God’s presence in the ambiguity—a difficult way to live, but a way that honors the authenticity of our lives and strengthens our relationship with God.

Bruce has lived in San Francisco since 1989 after growing up in Sacramento and Stockton. He now lives in the Oceanview district of San Francisco with his wife since 1990, Robin Pugh; and three daughters, Evelyn, Abigail, and Analise. His free time is filled with hanging out in cafes, cheering on those awesome Oakland Athletics, and riding his Triumph Bonneville T-100, “Trixie Triumph.”
