Writer, photographer, reporter, documentary filmmaker, and artist, Bruce Young brings over three decades of experience and dedication to the tasks he has taken on through the years. He has worked in public relations, politics (at the White House), video production and editing, editorial photography, as well as news reporting and documentary production, traveling as far as China and the Russian Far East.

After graduation from Washington and Lee University, Bruce Young became the Assistant Director of Public Relations at Southeastern University in Washington, DC. He left that post in 1983 to join the staff of The White House as Assistant Editor of the White House News Summary. As a member of the press office staff, he compiled and wrote a daily summary of news coverage for the President and senior staff. He also assisted with media handling.

He left the White House in 1985 to pursue a path in visual journalism. He worked from 1985 to 1988 as an editor and television cameraman at CinemaSound in Arlington, Virginia, where his clients included Xerox, Perdue, political campaigns, and PBS.

In 1988, in addition to his television camera work, he began working as freelance news photographer for United Press International, The New York Times and The Washington Post. From 1991 through 1997 he worked as a contract photojournalist at the Washington, DC, bureau of Reuters where his daily assignments included coverage of the White House and Capitol Hill. His photographs appeared regularly on the pages of major newspapers and magazines across the globe.

In 1995 he co-founded The Evans-McCan Group with his wife and former colleague, Jennifer Law Young. He served as director of "Stolen Years," the critically acclaimed, Emmy Award-winning PBS documentary. While continuing to produce independent projects, Bruce has since worked as a staff photographer for WDBJ in Roanoke, Virginia, and as the photographer and editor of the Fox 21/27 Morning News in Roanoke.

In August 2016, he was appointed Lexington bureau chief for WDBJ, a position he left in 2022 to work as a Marketing Manager for The Omni Homestead in Hot Springs, Virginia.
