Marsha is always there when we need assistance as the original Detroitist. Her contributions to MM-O-DD have been a span from the from the first few years of our existence.

Micheal was the first Vice President for MM-O-DD and as an architect with a speciality in designing musuems he was there each step of the way for the first 5 years. Thank you, Micheal!

Christianne Sims-Malone

Christianne was our Founders co-hort in the first steps of MM-O-DD. She contributed to our mission and the beginning events to raise awareness and more. Over the years, Christianne has stepped in to support whatever was needed. Grand kudos to Christianne.

Chuck & Susie Duquet

The Duquet's hosted MM-O-DD for 5 years when we needed a permanent location at their galley, Collected Detroit. Chuck also tirelessly donated hours upon hours of work to construct and build exhibition to showcase both MM-O-DD and his items from his business. Pilling would hand off the curated layout and with a bit of magic, Duquet would build. The our heartfelt appreciation we give a huge kudos to this generous duo!

IN MEMORY OF

Eric Moss

Paul J Smith

Robert & Margaret Jones

Eric Saarinen

Eric believed in our BIODESIGN pillar and even attended one of our Biomimicry workshops. Each time he visited MM-O-DD the conversation was about how especially Biomimicry should always be apart of the MM-O-DD programming. He periodically would explain how his father and grandfather also related to nature's engineering way before the term Biomimicry was formulated. In honor of Eric we will honor him within our BIODESIGN platform and aim to support the Foundation being set-up in his name.

David Philpot

Gabe Gonzales

Gabe was the MM-O-DD Director of Security and risk management for 3 years. He was a decorated USA Armed Forces Veteran who suffered from PSD and was very much part of the development of our BRAINWORXX platform. His dedication to the MM-O-DD mission was forever appreciated.
