Bruce Gearing, Leander Independent School District’s superintendent as of Sept. 3, holds many titles — world educator, wind-surfer, musician, community member, father, husband, outdoor enthusiast, and self described future-thinker. 

But even with all of the titles, he calls himself a regular person “who has the same failings as everybody else, who has the same struggles as everybody else,” Gearing said. “I choose to be grateful for the opportunities and experiences that I’ve had. I choose to live today and choose not to worry too much about what’s happened before. I’m a future-thinker, so I do think a lot about the future, but it’s in an optimistic way.”
