Bruce Sallan was an award-winning television executive and producer for 25 years, during which time he produced over 30 television movies, pilots and series. He produced his first television movie at age 24 and was a Vice President at ABC at 29. Google him if you care for the specifics. Along the way he worked with such actors as Ingrid Bergman, Ron Howard (before he was a director), Mickey Rourke, Ben Affleck, Hal Holbrook, Barbara Hershey, Sisey Spacek, Henry Winkler, Alan Arkin and Brian Dennehey. He wrote articles for Daily Variety and the Producers Caucus Bulletin. Bruce became a first-time Dad, to a son, 4 days after his 40th birthday. His second son was born three years later. When his boys were still quite young, Bruce left show biz to become a full-time Dad and to care for his ailing parents?a classic ?sandwich? situation. Sadly, shortly thereafter, his marriage ended and his wife abandoned their children, leaving the State. Bruce found himself a full-time single Dad, in his late-forties, as well as a returning single man in the new world of cyber dating. He began writing various blogs on the dating sites he used, as well as articles for local publications including a regular column for a local paper about being a single Dad. His column is now published in over 75 papers and web-sites internationally, and its focus is primarily on parenting issues from the Dad?s point-of-view, though often the situations are gender-neutral. Yet, just as often they?re not and it?s Bruce?s contention that the Dad?s point-of-view is less ?heard? yet equally valuable to parents. He also writes about divorce, blended families, Internet dating, men?s work, teens, and male-female issues. Bruce presently lives in Agoura, California with his second (and last) wife and two boys, who are 16 and 13.
