Aaron Foley

Aaron Foley is the chief storyteller for the City of Detroit, a newly appointed position created by Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan.

He has published two books: "The Detroit Neighborhood Guidebook" (August 2017) and "How to Live in Detroit Without Being a Jackass" (December 2015). Prior to joining the City of Detroit, Aaron was editor of BLAC Detroit Magazine and has freelanced for several national and local publications. He is a Detroit native and resident.
