Bruce Mitchelle was born on July 13, 1960, meaning that he turned 63 this year. He is the first born in a family of five, two brothers and two sisters. They grew up in Ponchatoula, Los Angeles in the United States.

He hails from a tightly-knit family full of love. The family tries to get together as often as possible. Their get-togethers are always characterized by the memories of the pranks that Bruce used to pull on them. Of course, he still pulls some pranks up to date.

He has run the business with his father-in-law for over 32 years. His wife was helping out with business paperwork. He has helped improve the farm in many aspects. However, he stopped running it due to his commitment to the reality show and his in-law’s family issues.
The A&E roached him on his farm and asked if they could cast a documentary that would air on the History Channel. Being his family’s favorite channel, how could he have turned them down? That is how he got connected to the Swamp People.

His only known companion was Tyler, his dog. After a kill, Bruce would treat him to zebra cakes. Unfortunately, he passed away. On rare occasions, Bruce would be seen with other people on his hunting spree.
Sometimes he releases photos roasting the meat he got from the alligators he hunts.

Bruce Mitchelle is a married man. He is married to one Janet Kliebert whom he met way back in junior high, (you might remember her name from the Kliebert’S alligator and turtle farm) they liked each other and fell in love. Their love grew and blossomed into marriage.
The duo tied the knot in 1980 when Bruce was only 20 years. After marrying Janet, he moved to their firm, Kliebert Alligator and Turtle Farm, and started working there.
After moving to the farm, his father-in-law taught him more aspects of the business that enabled him to take on more responsibilities.

Age
Having been born in 1960, Bruce is 63 years old. Although he looks older from his physical appearance – all thanks to his shaggy, unkempt hair and beards.
With the latest study chimes and research by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) that was published in 2015, showed that well off men can live up to 82.5 years.
We still have some more years of having him on the reality series. Not unless he decides to drop the show something we both pray that he won’t do.
If you were to get another Tyler, please don’t feed the dog chocolate. It is poison to animals system. I was so in a panic when Tyler jumped out of the boat. I could have beat you Bruce with a alligator tail. I was so mad at you. I wouldn’t put no anal in that predicament or environment. Plus you scare me when you go out their cause between you and little Willie. You guys can be accident prone!!!!!!
