What a fantastic way to kick off the summer! Last Thursday’s Chamber Cheers at Michigan By The Bottle in Auburn Hills was filled with great conversations, meaningful connections, and an incredible group of local professionals.

As a proud sponsor, I’m always grateful for opportunities like these to connect with so many wonderful people who are passionate about supporting our business community. Events like this are a reminder of how strong and engaged the Auburn Hills business community truly is.

A big thank you to the Auburn Hills Chamber of Commerce for organizing another outstanding event, Michigan By The Bottle for their hospitality, and everyone who attended and helped make the afternoon such a success.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again at the next Chamber event!

Great way to kick off the holiday weekend at today’s Morning J.A.M. with the Troy Chamber at the Boys & Girls Club. Fantastic turnout, great energy in the room, and so many valuable conversations and connections made before Memorial Day weekend.

Always appreciate the opportunity to network with such an engaged business community and support organizations making a difference locally. Thanks to everyone who came out this morning!

The third annual On The Wings of Angels fundraising gala was a huge success!! Over 300 participants filled the grand ballroom at the Royal Park Hotel in downtown Rochester and opened their hearts and minds and pocketbooks for survivors of domestic violence!

Thank you to everyone who made this night so perfect:

To JoJo Dries whose vision and leadership is the reason this mission we have even exists. When she decided to hold our first gala 2 years ago people said she was crazy. She was able to get 175 people to show up to that first gala and she had no help at all. Now, this time, with the help of our amazing board of directors and volunteers, we had the event of a lifetime. And we know next year will be even better! I am so so proud of you my love!

Thank you to Dr Christina Haemmerle for doing so much to coordinate and plan the event and for being a wonderful MC!

Thank you to Louie Lee for your performance during dinner. We are OG bandits and love seeing everyone else around the room admire your work!

Thank you to Brian Recker for your amazing keynote speech!

Thank you to Michell C. Clark for your poignant speech after receiving your award!

Congratulations also to Leo Ayrault, Sonna Johns, and Sandra Adams for your awards!

Thank you Nicole De'Sales Myint for being the best DJ ever!

Thank you Shadia Amen for these amazing photos!!

Thank you to all the sponsors and donors who showed up so big!!! We can’t do this without you!!

Thank you to all the volunteers who spent countless hours making it all happen and go off without a hitch.

I’m happy that I was able to present along with other male voices who all gave one message: men need to do better. We need to step up and stand with the women of our lives. Weak men choose control and violence. Strong men choose love and collaboration. We can all do better. The time is now!

There are so many great pictures but these are just a few. Again, what a night! Still on a high from seeing so many people come out and show up and pour out love on their neighbors.

What a wonderful morning at Java with Jean at Chick-fil-A in Auburn Hills.

This location has only been open about a year and it is already booming. Thank you for hosting such a great event and creating a welcoming space for everyone to connect.

A big thank you to Jean and the Auburn Hills Chamber for consistently putting together such strong community events. Proud to be a sponsor and support the work you are doing to bring local professionals together.

Also grateful for my co sponsors Unicom Solutions and Brightview Landscapes for being part of it.

It was especially great seeing so many new faces and first time attendees this morning. Looking forward to the next one!

Great morning at Java with Jean! Saw so many familiar faces and met a few new people!

Great way to kick off the day at the St. Patrick’s Day edition of Troy Chamber Morning J.A.M. ☘️

Always a great turnout, great conversations, and even better connections. Makes you appreciate how great our local business community really is.

From there, I had the opportunity to spend the rest of the morning at New Horizons participating in Project SEARCH mock interviews—and wow, what an experience.

This was my second time being involved, and it just keeps getting better. Getting to sit down with these incredible young adults, hear their stories, and help them sharpen their interview skills is truly inspiring. The effort, determination, and growth they show in the face of challenges is something special.

Grateful to be part of a day that was all about connection, growth, and opportunity.
