I am a lifelong resident of the Birthplace of General Motors, here in Flint, Michigan. And just like GM has seen better days; so has Flint and the Detroit Pistons. Still I'm a fan of all three and since the Pistons are regrouping, not rebuilding, I feel now is the perfect time to continue supporting the positive effort being made to turn the franchise around. Since I also am a critic, I believe I can offer some insight and enthusiasm for the turn around that is in process. I graduated from Western Michigan University in 1981 with a degree in Broadcasting and a minor in journalism. I also have done some writing for online publications recently.
