After 36 years in the equipment finance industry, Bruce Smith, most recently vice president of sales in the diversified capital credit division of TimePayment, retired, according to a LinkedIn post from Smith.

“It’s been a wonderful career, mainly because of the great people I’ve worked and come in contact with, many who I now call friends. In the end, that’s what’s most important,” Smith wrote in the post. “Thank you to the vendors, customers, employees, co-workers, banks, funding sources and service providers who’ve been on my ride. I can now finally become a scratch golfer.”
