MEET OUR TEAM DRIVEN PASSIONATE HARDWORKING TALENTED AMBITIOUS
MARK MEDEIROS - PRESIDENT I was born and raised in New Bedford.
As a young man I remember New
Bedford as vibrant, prosperous and
envied city, it was and I believe now is
becoming that city again, albeit very
slowly. The New Bedford Travel Guide
will be "voice" telling people of this
transformation, I like the idea of being a
part of that.
MATT MEDEIROS - DIRECTOR My family’s roots stem deep in the
city of New Bedford and the South
Coast. As technical project manager
for The New Bedford Travel guide,
my role is to deliver an outstanding
web property for tourists visiting the
area. It’s an honor to develop this
project with a great team and for a
great cause.
MATT NEUMANN - PROJECT MANAGER
The City of New Bedford has been a
passion of mine for the past three years.
I have dedicated much of my time to
various projects and events to better our
beautiful city. I feel strongly that this
travel guide is something that the New
Bedford, surrounding towns, and
businesses in the area can be proud of. I
look forward to delivering a quality
product for this year and many years to
come.

JULIA PERRY - PHOTO/DESIGN As a graduating student of UMass Dartmouth and resident of New Bedford, I am proud to call this area my home. Being brought onto this project is an honor, and I hope that my design and illustration ability can create a guide that you will all be proud of.
DEREK ALMEIDA - OPERATIONS As a child I have fond memories of riding
the SRTA bus into Downtown New
Bedford to enjoy in the community of
museums, stores and eateries. As an Adult,
my family and I still partake in visiting the
steadfast institutions as well as the new
generation of retail & restaurants. We have
a gem of a City and NB Travel guide will
broaden its appeal to a whole new audience
of visitors. I am proud to be a part of this
endeavor.

JEFF GOLENSKI - SENIOR DESIGNER I come from a family of New Bedford locals that
runs several generations deep. Through stories of
my parents and grandparents, I've seen the beauty
of our city's heritage and all its offerings. As Web
Designer of New Bedford Guide I hope to bring
that vision to the web. Through this interactive
online outlet, we can share our unique and
enchanting city with everyone around the world,
and let them know what an amazing place New
Bedford really is.
