Seller is a Detroit-area native. He started the foundation along with Josh Lehrer, a photographer and documentarist.

"Hamilton" is an award-winning take on the nation's first U.S. treasury secretary, Alexander Hamilton. It has been cheered for reclaiming the nation's founding story with a multicultural cast.
