The Community
About WMI
WMI Cruises is a passionate Michigan-based car community dedicated to bringing back the true spirit of automotive culture. Our mission is to move the scene away from clout chasing and chaotic takeovers, and instead focus on what the car scene was always meant to be about.
We believe in enjoying our vehicles on open roads, building genuine friendships, and creating a welcoming community for enthusiasts who share the same passion. At the same time, we strive to use our platform for good by supporting causes that matter- raising money and awareness for kids battling cancer.
WMI Cruises isn't just about cars, it's about community, purpose, and returning the passion to the culture.

Founder & Head of Operations
I founded WMI Cruises in early 2025 to help restore the authentic spirit of the Michigan car scene. My vision is simple: bring enthusiasts together for well-organized cruises, build a strong community, and use the passion for cars to help raise money for kids fighting cancer.

I'm Gabriel, a servant of Christ, husband, musician, and car enthusiast. I'm a big BMW fan with a 2008 328i 6MT and a 2013 M3 7spd DCT. I help Scotty with route testing and some admin stuff on the Facebook page. You'll usually see me around cruises getting everyone set up with Rallista and getting to know everyone.

Driver of the infamous "Rice Cooker," Dennis can usually be found cooking clutches, organizing cruises, helping members with projects, or grilling glizzys for the group. Always willing to lend a hand, Dennis believes WMI is about more than just cars, it's about building a community of enthusiasts who enjoy good friends, good conversations, and occasionally making questionable automotive decisions together.
Dennis@wmicruises.comI'm Remi, and I've spent the last 3 years in the real estate industry managing properties — which really comes down to one thing I care about most: building communities. That same passion is what drew me to WMI. I'm an unapologetic caraholic with a garage that makes no sense: I own everything from a tuned M235i all the way up to a 30-foot school bus. On cruises you'll find me focused on keeping everyone safe and the routes dialed in, but really I'm just here for the people, the builds, and the drive.

Meet the Team
Dedicated cruise spotter and automotive enthusiast. I take pride in ensuring our community stays safe while we enjoy the open road. Behind the wheel of my modded V6 Mustang—equipped with headers, intake, and a custom ECU tune, I'm always ready to lead the pack. My mission is simple: keep an eye out for hazards, and ensure everyone has a safe, controlled environment to enjoy their cars.
I'm an automotive enthusiast with a passion for capturing the car community through photography. You'll usually find me at local car meets, checking out the builds and appreciating the creativity and detail that goes into making each car unique. From subtle touches to full custom projects, I enjoy seeing how people bring their vision to life. I'm also a big fan of Audi—so much so that I joke I'm basically an unpaid Audi spokesperson, always ready to hype up the four rings whenever the topic of cars comes up.
Hey! I'm Fischer, I've been doing photography in west Michigan and other states for 6 years now on and off. I'm a retired athlete and All American swimmer, currently pursuing an aviation maintenance engineering degree while still setting time aside for my clients and friends. I'd love to meet you and make your ride look as good as possible!
