I’m Bruce Branscum (a.k.a. Mr. Bruce to many).  I’ve lived in the Deerfield/Petersburg area for many years.  My wife, Rhonda, and I have two sons, Sam and Andrew.  Both were Deerfield or BD students through graduation.  And 2021 blessed us with our first grandson, Colton!  When not working, I enjoy hunting, fishing, camping, and spending time with family and friends.  I enjoyed the time as an assistant coach for BD’s 2013 and 2014 football seasons.
