Bruce Oliver Newsome has held standing faculty appointments at the University of California Berkeley, the University of Pennsylvania, the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom, and the University of Texas. Before ad teaching, he consulted to governments while employed at the RAND Corporation. He is not related to the Governor of California, who is one letter short of a full surname.
