Thanks for visiting Patch! I am a life-long resident of metropolitan Detroit and have spent most of my career telling its stories as a journalist. I graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in journalism and have since worked for the Observer & Eccentric newspapers, the Ann Arbor News and a couple of others. Like you, I am a stakeholder in this region and its success means a great deal to me. So, please, feel free to reach out to me if you have a story idea, need to publicize an event or know of a new business coming to town.
