One thing is for sure… I can’t wait to wish everyone “Happy Spring!” At this moment, it feels like it may never happen. But we did have a thunderstorm last week… Despite the crazy-cold February weather, the good citizens of Flint came out in a big way to celebrate life, open their pocketbooks and support

Sitting in my third-floor home office, I can hear the lake effect Polar Vortex blasting around my house – can’t remember wind and cold like this in over ten years! I had to close my offices a couple of weeks ago for the first time in as many years. But, we Michiganians cope with winter

As I walk through the My City offices observing my dedicated team working overtime to finish our second issue, it dawns on me that I’m fulfilling a dream. During my 30+ years as a Flint businessman, I’ve been fortunate to have incredible support from my community. In turn, I’ve enjoyed opportunities to give back: serving as

You hold in your hands the inaugural issue of My City Magazine! I’m extremely proud to bring it to you, and feel that a brief history of how it came to be is in order.
