This Week in Bisbee Person of the Week!
David Joseph Del Grande has been in Bisbee just about six months. He fell in love with the town when he started doing newspaper work with the Sierra Vista Herald in 2017. Tucson had been a second home to him; that’s where he went to college and studied journalism. He now works in IT as a tech writer, but still does photography and video of Bisbee on the side. His favorite thing about Bisbee? “The sense of community where even if you’re a part-time artist or enthusiast it’s very collaborative compared to most of the places I’ve lived.” Tell him you saw him in TWIB!
