Bio
A 1998 graduate of the University of Tampa and member of the UT baseball program, Bruno has continued his support of Spartan athletics since his graduation. A part of the 1998 national championship team, Bruno was a four-year member of the program. As a student, he helped launch the Sword & Shield Club, which he continues to support and maintain involvement. His leadership among athletics supporters has led directly to renovations at the UT Baseball Field, including the turf field and new lighting. He is also a top supporter of the annual Rene Martinez Golf Classic, raising funds for Tampa baseball. Most recently, he led the campaign to introduce the establishment of the Hindman Wall Spartan Warrior Award, which is named in honor of the former UT athletic director and Bruno's mentor. The annual award was first presented in 2024 to the Spartan player who demonstrates on the field and off the field dedication with his peers and the community. His support has extended beyond baseball as he has gifted several projects to the University athletics department through his position at Assorted Internet. He also led the way in launching the official website of Tampa athletics, and the first live streaming of athletic events.
