"Mike makes the clients' issues
and concerns his issues and con-
cerns," Kunz said. "He is willing
to go the extra mile to ensure that
our clients are taken care of and he
does so maturely, professionally, as
a team player and in good spirits."
Kunz added, "We deal with some
of the most important relationships
of our clients, including the rela-
tionships between the company's
management and the board of
directors and its committees, and
the company's relationship with
its shareholders and the invest-
ment community. Mike has shown
wisdom well beyond his years, and
has become a valued adviser to our
clients in a very short time."
Ben calls Metro Detroit a mini
New York because of a rich ethnic
and religious diversity. "This area
provides a great chance to interact
and learn from many different cul-
tures:' the Bloomfield Hills Andover
High School graduate said. "It's
equally important that we live in a
strong Jewish community, which is
a big part of our identity."
Jaime, 30, is in her second year
as a board member of Jewish
Apartments & Services in West
Bloomfield. Michael isn't yet active
in Jewish young adult programs but
intends to get involved over time.
"Detroit's Jewish community is
relatively small compared to New
York's',' he said, "but it's real vibrant.
And it has a much stronger pres-
ence in our lives than the Jewish
community did when we were liv-
ing among millions of Jews in New
York. We just never felt part of a
specific Jewish community living in
New York City"
