Meet the Business Owner

Bruce W.

Business Owner

Bruce started the initial version of the company (West Bay Wood Care) in 1987 while attending the University of California at Berkeley (Cal). His major was Bio-​Resource Science and he was perusing a medical career at the time. He spent five years working for the Cal Football Team as a student trainer and assistant to the training staff. For two years during the summers between attending school he worked as a deck carpenter building high-​end decks. He became a highly skilled deck builder and this is where he got the idea to start a deck preserving business.

Since then, Bruce has combined his skills in the field of deck construction with the knowledge he has gained from observing what makes decks fall apart (for the last 27 years) to build one of the most well-​rounded deck (and any exterior wood) preserving companies in existence.
