I am working with the Architectural Salvage Warehouse of Detroit(ASWD) along with Mike Paciero. For our impact project we decided to focus on marketing and their website, helping them get their name out there. ASWD does deconstruction and works with many reclaimed materials from lumber to toilets taken from deconstructed houses.
Mike Paciero is really experienced […]
I have fallen victim the PokemonGo craze during the past couple of weeks. I have been glued to my phone trying to catch Pokemon that are slowly taking over the world. While people may be annoyed by the game, many people enjoy playing the game (myself included). For those people that are interested in PokemonGo I have […]
This upcoming Red Wings season will be the final season they play at Joe Louis Arena. It will be sentimental for many of the fans that have seen them make the playoffs 25 straight years at “The Joe”. I have only lived in Detroit for a year but I was lucky enough to make it […]
This will be my first full summer in Detroit and I am looking forward to taking full advantage of the nice weather, and outdoor events in Detroit. I’ve loaded up on sunscreen and created a mini bucket list for this upcoming summer.

I have never heard of a Paczki before moving to Detroit, well maybe I have but I would have never heard the sound “poonchki” and associated it with the spelling Paczki. Once you get the “poonchki” pronunciation down, then you have to wonder what a Paczki is? After having my first one and a half […]
Fomo is real, and for those who don’t know what FOMO is, it is “Fear of missing out” and I had some Major FOMO over thanksgiving, and new years. Unfortunately I am the youngest and it’s a lot easier for me to go home to New York for the holidays than everyone coming out to […]
I am one of a few Challenge Detroit fellows to have grown up in an apartment, and lived in a major city for my whole life. I grew up in Manhattan in New York City, spent a summer living in Berlin, and spent a few weeks in Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. I have also […]
When I was selected for Challenge Detroit, I found out my host company was going to be Edward C. Levy, headquartered in Dearborn.
