With roots in the historic Number Streets on the Westside, Eric’s journey is woven into the fabric of the city, where he’s built a thriving presence along the iconic West McNichols corridor. As the proud owner of Raw Space, located at 8420 W McNichols Rd, Detroit, MI 48221, Eric has transformed this venue into a hub for creativity, connection, and community. From high school days in New York to earning a history degree at Eastern Michigan University, his path reflects a deep commitment to education, culture, and community building.
