I believe in the power of entrepreneurship to transform lives and communities at large. I have been a lifelong entrepreneur never getting a paycheck from an entity that I didn’t contribute to creating. I’ve both struggled during the challenging times and enjoyed the fruits of success as an entrepreneur, but I wouldn’t, and frankly couldn’t have it any other way.

I also love and cherish the nostalgia and uniqueness of local hometown culture. As a young boy, I remember fondly the road trips that my parents took us on as kids, and I can still recall the feeling that I had rolling into a new town for the first time – the sights, the people, the local restaurants and shops – I loved and appreciated those experiences, and I still do today.

I live and work in my hometown of Birmingham, MI. And while I certainly have had the pleasure of traveling the world, there is no feeling like coming home . And so I’m dedicated to ensuring the preservation of America’s diverse and treasured hometown culture and to support local businesses whenever and wherever possible.
