Meet the Double-B Family
Primary Staff
Bill Bryda
Owner
Lead Promoter
Bill started Double-B Promotions in 1987 (then operating under B&F Sports Cards). His first sports card and memorabilia show was held at the Elks Hall in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. For 10+ years he promoted a quarterly show, but as attendance numbers grew and dealer demand increased, he changed the frequency to a monthly format. After venturing into other business areas, Bill re-established Double-B Promotions focusing on the Bridal market.
Bill has worked in marketing and ad sales for a local Radio Station for almost 10 years and has also done internet marketing and ad placement for several large companies. But his passion is helping small local businesses connect with customers who are in need of the services they offer. He is definitely a "people-person" and will go out of his way to help anyone he can.
Bill resides in Woonsocket, RI with Missy, their almost 5 year old Daughter, Alyson and his 3 step-children, Megan, Abigail & Jacob.
Feel free to contact him with any questions.
