The Person Behind the Platform

Meet Dave

Michigan Small Business Spotlight was born from a simple belief: the people running small businesses in my communities deserve to be seen and celebrated. I built this platform from the ground up to make that happen.

Based in Troy, Michigan, I’m a husband, a father, and someone who cares about the small businesses that make Michigan’s communities worth living in. What started as a passion project has grown into a full media brand with 1.7M+ views across all platforms in 2026, plus a Sunday newsletter read across all five Michigan regions.

 

Every spotlight, every podcast episode, and every social post is created with one goal in mind: helping great local businesses get the visibility they deserve.
