Welcome to Modern Manliness

Modern Manliness is about life as it’s actually lived — in Detroit, in marriage, in work, in health, in kitchens, in stadium seats, and sometimes in hospital waiting rooms. It’s about the city that shaped me, the people and places I care about, the things I’m still figuring out, and the experiences that leave a mark.

Here you’ll find stories about Detroit culture and history, honest reviews of places and events, reflections on marriage and family, the realities of aging and chronic illness, the struggle to stay healthy, thoughts on money and work, opinions on sports, and a steady stream of food, cooking, and everyday life.

Just one man writing about what he’s seen, what he’s learned, what still surprises him, and what’s worth paying attention to along the way.

If you’re interested in real stories, real opinions, and real life — welcome to Modern Manliness.
