Milwaukee Made

Dynamic Events by David Caruso

As the host of Milwaukee Made—and the Emmy-nominated Good Things Brewing—David Caruso knows the lasting impression Milwaukee leaves. “Whether it’s touring performers, new businesses, or first-time visitors, people are struck by the warmth and hospitality here,” says Caruso. “That kindness is what makes Milwaukee stand out—and why it’s beloved by travel writers, convention planners and developers.”

Caruso is excited to once again serve as a guide to the neighborhoods, restaurants, attractions and people that define the city. “I love that Milwaukee always finds new ways to celebrate its diversity, creativity, and talent,” he adds. “It’s a city where people can chase dreams and build a life full of opportunity and connection.”
