About Goldsboro, NC’s Real Estate Agent Bruce Gates

When he’s not developing strategic plans for his clients, Bruce and his family enjoy deep sea fishing and camping trips several times a year.

In his nearly 28 years in the military, Bruce has flown many missions and many different aircraft, most notably the F-4E Phantom and F-15E Strike Eagle. And as a weapons officer, it was a job that demanded concentration and precision, as well as teamwork and strategic planning to ensure the successful outcome of every mission. But aiming higher at everything he does has always been Bruce’s style—whether it’s at several hundred miles an hour in the air or with his feet planted firmly on the ground.

Details Matter

Throughout his Air Force career, Bruce has always been someone people could rely on. That’s why during the Olympics in Seoul, Korea in 1988, Bruce was chosen as one of the few aviators to patrol the skies above the city, discouraging any potential threats. It was an honor he accepted and carried out the same way he does everything in his life—with the highest standards of professionalism
and dedication.

Well Balanced

Where most people would slow down considerably after their retirement from the fast pace of military life, the thought has never entered Bruce’s mind. In fact, Bruce, his wife Melanie and their kids Stacie and Michael love the way he takes one of his other hobbies—camping—
to a whole new level. Recently, Bruce organized a two-week long camping trip with his family. They took their time traveling from Goldsboro all the way up through Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York State to Boston, Massachusetts, where they spent more than a week exploring New England.

All Systems Go

Bruce takes the time to develop powerful strategic plans to help his clients maximize every real estate opportunity.
