Bruce Albion Bailey was born in Pocatello, Idaho where he spent the entirety of his childhood before moving to California as a teenager. After receiving his degree in law from Stanford University in 1956, Bruce worked as an attorney for the United Nation's office in Geneva, Switzerland. During the Vietnam War, he put a pause on his career in law to serve as a naval aviation officer. When the war came to a close, Bruce devoted his practice primarily to defending victims of aviation accidents. Bruce spent the last chapter of his career, from 2000 to 2011, involved in medical malpractice cases. He's now retired and spends his time mostly reading and reflecting on an eventful life.
