Meet Bruce

For those of you who have been with American Sharpening for a while you know Bruce well. For those of you new to this company you are in for a treat. Bruce is the founder of American Sharpening and the man with the big personality and drive that made us what we are today. Bruce has built many businesses in his lifetime but found a passion for working with groomers and stylists the past 20 years after a short retirement was not for him. He is a go-getter and loves to meet new customers. He considers his customers' families and works hard to ensure the services provided are unmatched. He truly enjoys getting to know those he serves. His strong work ethic, dedication to perfection and commitment to making American Sharpening a business that services its customers with high standards is why we are who we are today.
