The name Bruckner is a tribute to Kathleen's mother and family. One cold night in 1956, an 8-year old Maria Bruckner was awakened by her mother and told to put on her only two dresses she owned. In the middle of that night, Maria, her three older brothers, and her mother and father left their home, relatives, and their minimum possessions to escape communism and strive for a better life.
They endured unspeakable challenges for a year to get to America. Once they arrived, they immediately began learning English, studied American culture and became hard-working contributors to their community and proud citizens of this country.
The Bruckner family is the pinnacle example of bravery, work ethic, humbleness and loyalty. There could not be a better name to live up to and that's what Bruckner Strategies, LLC will strive to achieve every day.
