I've lived in Battle Creek my whole life. I always thought it had tremendous potential, and it always bothered me seeing things mismanaged, buildings torn down, and people move away. It felt like everyone gave up.

But I knew that there were a handful of people that believe in this city. I knew it couldn't just be me. So instead of giving up on Battle Creek, like so many others did, I took my passion for design and streetwear and started New Union Market. It is a way for people to show their love for Battle Creek, even if it's not perfect. It was a way to start conversations, to band together to create the city we want to live in.

7 years later and I still can't believe I'm doing this.

Let's continue to fight for our city, to dream, and to boldly fight for better.
