About the Author

While earning my Master of Business Administration from University of California, I was fortunate to get an internship with a television producer. What followed was an award-winning career in television, which within a short time led to being vice president at ABC. Throughout my career, I produced over 30 television movies, pilots, and series. I produced my first television movie at age 24 and was a vice president at ABC by the time I was 29.


I became a first-time dad, to a son, four days after my 40th birthday, less than 9 months after getting married. My second son was born three years later. When my boys were still quite young, I left show biz to become a full-time dad and to care for my ailing parents, the classic “sandwich” situation. Sadly, shortly thereafter, my marriage ended and my wife left the state leaving the boys with me. I found myself a full-time single dad, in my late-forties.

This in turn led to my desire to help other dads (and families) going through similar circumstances. In 2008 I began writing a column “A Dad’s Point of View,” which is now in over 100 newspapers and websites. The response to this was so positive that I shortly thereafter started a radio show, The Bruce Sallan Show – A Dad’s Point of View Radio Show, currently on three AM stations and premiering on the PWRN Internet Radio Network. I also embraced social media and have a very active facebook page with over 3,600 members from literally all over the world and my twitter presence @brucesallan has a Klout score of 67. I also host a twitter chat each week with the hashtag, #adadspov.

Remarried now and still learning about parenting as I go, my hope is to share my message of parenting survival and learning how to enjoy all those parenting moments to the fullest through my newly released book, radio show, and columns. My fervent belief is that from my layman experiences I reach and touch people as they relate to my everyday stories and feel I am one of them rather than preaching from an ivory tower or with a load of degrees following my name.
