My name is Brando J. Bond, Owner and CEO of BELS. I have studied languages since I was just 12 years old and have since become fluent in Spanish, Italian, French and Portuguese.

I am a proud veteran of the Ohio Army National Guard where I served for 7 years as a combat medic, ending my service with the rank of sergeant. I also am a proud alumni of The Ohio State University where I earned my bachelor's degree in Romance Studies (Italian, Spanish and French) and my second bachelor's degree in International Studies: Security and Intelligence.

I have spent more than half of my life learning and working with multiple languages on a daily basis and have much experience traveling between Europe, South America and Central America to broaden my language and cultural understandings. If you are in need of any of our language services at BELS, I would be more than happy to personally assist you with this lifelong passion of mine!
