My name is Brian Donato. I have lived my entire life in Watertown. I attended the Hosmer for Kindergarten and the Cunniff for grades 1-5 before spending grades 6-8 at the Watertown Middle School. I graduated in 1998 from Boston College High School, 2002 from Boston College with degrees in Elementary Education and English, and in 2003 from Boston College with a Masters in Moderate Special Needs (5-12). This is my 21st year working at the Watertown Middle School; 20 years as a special education teacher and 1 year as an Instructional Assistant.

My wife Jess is a 3rd-grade teacher at the Hosmer where our boys Brennan (5th grade) and Griffin (1st grade) attend school. Our immediate family also includes Walle, our 12-year old Olde English Bulldogge, and Bubbles and Bruno, our 5 month old twin cats. I am one of five siblings (two sets of twins) and have a twin brother. I am a member of the International Society of Huggers. My favorite color is purple. I prefer the Harry Potter books to the movies. I make a mean french toast. When I retire I want to get a job at a zoo. I have worked for the Watertown Recreation Department for 30 years.
