Photography has always been a passion of mine. My newest tool in my arsenal to help me capture the perfect shot is my DJI Phantom drone. Ever since getting mine a year ago I’ve had a great time documenting Detroit from a birds eye view. Seeing the city from high up not only looks stunning […]
Working with the team at the Chevrolet Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix (CDBIGP) was a pleasure this past year. The highlight of course in working with such a team would have to be race weekend.
In 2015 the organizers and patrons were un-welcomingly greeted with rain all throughout the weekend. While I was not on the […]
Detroit’s come back is pretty evident, however one common criticism I often hear is that it’s still not a place for tourists. This past weekend my wife and I had the opportunity to stay at the Westin Book Cadillac in Downtown Detroit and put that theory to test. To be fair I do spend the […]
Over the last 8 months I’ve had the pleasure of working with the team responsible for putting together the Chevrolet Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix, one of the region’s premier annual sporting events. It was an event that I had attended in the past as a spectator, but knew little about.

A little background […]
Most people I know have dreamed of opening their own business at some point in their life. The thought of being your own boss and having the final say in things is exciting to think about. While it’s easy for us to picture the potential success and sense of self fulfillment that owning your own […]
I’m proud to have grown up and lived in Detroit all my life; there’s no doubt that living here has helped mold me into the person I am today. Through the years I’ve had opportunities to go elsewhere, but have been lucky enough to be able to maintain a good job and living here in […]
Growing up in Detroit I feel like I had a good pulse on the city coming into this fellowship opportunity. I wondered to myself how the experiences I would be going through with my CD fellows (some of whom had also grown up in Detroit/MetroDetroit, others new to the City entirely) would be for me.
It didn’t take […]
