Traverse City has some excellent rooftop bars. Just because it's starting to get cooler, doesn't mean you have to skip them. Enjoy while the colors start to change.

It doesn’t matter if you’re looking over the vast expanse of Grand Traverse Bay, or the vibrant activity below with downtown shoppers. Take a look at what our region has to offer for rooftop bars!

One of the reasons I love working with the Traverse City Tourism team is the work we do in making this area friendly for those with accessibility needs. Some of this was shown with TC becoming the first autism-friendly travel destination in Michigan. But, also look at the coverage we received from Corey Lee. https://curbfreewithcorylee.com/2024/08/18/wheelchair-accessible-traverse-city/. This man is remarkable.

From seeing giant sand dunes to eating my weight in cherries and more, my trip in wheelchair accessible Traverse City was so much fun!

It's one of 32 stops for the Blue Angels. But their visit leaves an impact on us and them.

Traverse City is one of 32 stops for the US Navy Blue Angels this year. Learn more about what the team is looking forward to for this year's National Cherry Festival Airshow!

When the Blue Angels are in Traverse City, like this year, I get to re-live my flight with them in 1992. I may forget how to tie my shoes in the morning, but I will never forget this flight. When you hit the "Gs" on take-off and feel your blood rush to your toes, it's an exhilaration you never forget.

It's a wrap! Over the past four days, I had the pleasure of working with Samantha Brown and her crew while creating an episode of "Places to Love." Here we are at Bonobo Winery last night. Kudos to the entire hard-working crew and all the places along the way that told just a little of the Traverse City story. This will start running around the country in January.

A great Father's Day gift. Opening up the Detroit Free Press to read how my daughter, AnnMarie, is making a difference to help animals through the Michigan Humane Society. Very Nice!

The big business news today is the pending sale of Bill Marsh Auto to the Serra Automotive Group. It's caused me to think deeply about my 22 years with Bill Marsh. I also stumbled on a blog piece I wrote about lessons of leadership from Bill Marsh Sr. His comments are just as relevant today as they were when I interviewed him.

What are the leadership traits worth following? When you find it, it’s rare. When it’s real, you know it right away. And when it’s real, it can be life altering. Thousands of books have been wri…

Shared the stage at the Fox Theatre in Detroit last week with some amazing people and organizations to receive the Governor's Award for Community Service. I was truly honored. It's been the joy of my career to be involved in things like Toys for Tots, TC Patriot Game, Kampout for KAIR and other vital services in our community.

I stumbled on this post I made many months ago. It is still as relevant today as it was then. How do you turn a weakness into a strength?

While they both faced the same reading disorder, they both concluded their struggle was not a handicap.
