In this episode, we sit down with Richard (Richie) Fernandes, a Bradford local who brings balance, discipline, and community spirit into everything he does. Richard works at the library, where he helps connect residents with resources and programs that support lifelong learning.
Outside of work, he’s a dedicated family man, living in Bradford with his wife and son. He also spends his time between the pipes as a hockey goalie, on the jiu jitsu mats, and—most recently— a new local burger influencer.
We talk about fatherhood, community, mental toughness, and how sports, martial arts, and food reviews all shape his mindset. It’s a thoughtful and down-to-earth conversation about staying grounded while juggling work, family, and personal passions in a busy world.
