Bruce Williams (talk radio host)

[3] Williams was elected to the Franklin Township Council in a June 1967 runoff, one of three members of a Republican-backed slate to win a contest for four seats.

Williams flew airplanes and on December 5, 1982, while attempting to abort a landing, crashed into a few trees in Princeton, New Jersey.

Maurice Tunick, Talknet creator and executive producer, remembers the incident: Bruce was critically injured and nearly clinically dead when he arrived at the Medical Center of Princeton.

[6] Williams ran an advice show focused on personal business matters such as real estate transactions, career planning, entrepreneurship, and travel until the September 11, 2001 attacks.

After being off the radio for just over two years, one of his newsletters announced that he would return to the airwaves via The American Entrepreneur, producing podcasts that would be available on iTunes and other platforms.

The program ran until the mid-summer until the American Entrepreneur network was forced to shut down following the sudden death of its owner.

By the beginning of 2013, the show was featuring only Jersey Boy Pork Roll, a Williams-owned company, in its advertising.

He began by melting down lead pipes into toy soldiers and selling them to other children at the age of 11 during World War II.

Later in life, Williams entered a wide variety of business ventures including insurance sales, driving a beer truck, driving a taxi, real estate sales, a flower shop, a car rental agency, a barber shop, and several nightclubs.

He drove an ice cream truck in New York City and was the founder of Lane Robbins, now Oak Crest Day Camp, a private preschool in Somerset, New Jersey.
