“I grew up in Southfield. I went to Vanderberg Elementary School, Thompson Middle School and Southfield Lathrup High School. So having grown up in Southfield and having had that experience of being part of this community, I wanted to really give back to my community. And I believe serving in this manner directly to the community is a good way to do that,” Habbo said.
