AboutMe
-Number one Ragazzi, I am NOT a journalist. So if you see commas out of place, or dysfunctional grammar please keep in mind that these are simply my musings and experiences from the D. I do not find the stories, they find me in my day-to-day dealings in the city….and they wake me up in the middle of the night begging to be told. Insomnia is my friend, and I try to update this blog as often as possible.
-Having travelled and lived all over the world, my favorite city in the world is still Detroit. Detroit takes the cake! But, Berlin, Barcelona, and Marrakesh, and Palermo rock too. Detroit is such an underground city with the underground ugly/sexy/cool vibe of Berlin. Detroit reveals itself one layer at a time.
- I love my city and wish for it to rise….rise like the phoenix. I cannot stand all of the negative press and hard knocks that the city gets- especially lately in the news. One thing that you must know is that this city is resilient. There is an intangible energy that lives inside the city and if you aren’t careful it will intoxicate your senses….
-Trained as an architect, I never fully became an official architect, but use my architectural skills to design cool, ephemeral events that showcase the hidden treasures of the city. I love bringing a diverse group of people together and for me this is ephemeral architecture at its best. I remember like it was yesterday sitting in the lecture hall at the University of Michigan in Kent Kleinman’s class – understanding Architecture 101, when I became fascinated by ephemeral architecture. I have been in love ever since with designing ephemeral environments that showcase the amazing individuals and stories of the D.
