My project with West Village was both challenging and rewarding, it also had three different moving pieces which focused on different areas in West Village. After sitting down with my project partner initially we decided on these three because we believed they all correlated. We believed in order for one to be successful they must […]
People constantly talk Detroit as a food desert. And while some would disagree I actually agree with that statement compared to Metro Detroit or even other cities. There are no overnight grocery stores to the best of my knowledge and the closest one is in Ferndale of 8 mile. Oddly enough I actually like to […]
The buzzword around American cities right now is Detroit. Everywhere you go people want to be affiliated with Detroit, are writing about the city, or maybe just genuinely curious about what’s going on. You have ‘Detroit Is The New Black’, “Detroit Dirt”, “Detroit Vs. Everybody”, and so forth. The energy and excitement around the city […]
On Monday, May 15th Slow Roll hosted their 3rd Monday bike ride at the historic Chene-Ferry Market in partnership with RecoveryPark and brought out roughly three thousands bikers as well as various businesses and food trucks to the community. You might say, “cool, but why does this matter?”.

Ah, hello there, I’m glad that I’ve got your attention. Now wait, wait, hold on a second. Before you start calling me names and typing out insults in all caps, especially the “you should tolerate everybody, except anybody who doesn’t think the same way as us” folk, I would like to play a game. Now […]
These are some of the rules of life that I live by as consistently as I can.
Always express gratitude as soon as you wake up.
Listening to someone is the greatest compliment you can offer.
Give those around you as much as you feasibly can, you may get hurt, but you’ll never regret it.
Good things […]
