Meet Bob Branco:
Hi, everyone. My name is Bob Branco. I am a life-long resident of New Bedford, Massachusetts, born August 12, 1957.
For the first several years of my schooling, I was placed in a sight saving class, where we all received special attention due to the small class size as well as our visual deficiencies.
When I reached the fifth grade, the State of Massachusetts could no longer accommodate me locally, so I was sent to the Perkins School for the Blind in Watertown, Mass, where I graduated from their high school in 1977.
I went on to receive an associates degree from Bristol Community College in Business Administration, and then obtained my Bachelors’ degree in Finance at Southeastern Massachusetts University, which is now UMass Dartmouth.
I belonged to many community-minded organizations over the years, and became well-versed in coordinating activities. I ran trips, dances, workshops, class reunions, surprise parties, talent shows, candy sales, car washes, Christmas parties, bowling leagues, and served as Commissioner of a softball league from 2006 to 2013, etc.
As you look through my web sight, you will probably have questions, comments and opinions. Please submit them to me at bobbranco93@gmail.com.
I am currently seeking a career in writing for newspapers and magazines, or any other part time work in communications, either home or at an office. My writing and editing services are also available freelance.
You can view my resume by following this link.
