Bruce Eggers

Parent Educator

I have been a parent educator since July 2018. My children are PAT alumni, all grown up and doing well! Our home visitor Sara provided crucial support to my family when I was a young dad, and I am delighted to have the opportunity to partner with families and support PAT the way it supported us!

Hobbies: I love riding bikes, cooking and eating a good meal and yakking with friends and family, and I never miss an opportunity to learn something new.
