Born and raised in Fort Worth, TX, Damon has always been the most active and athletic member of his family. Activities like dancing, gymnastics, and martial arts helped establish the foundation for what and who he is today. After graduating from high school in 1991 Damon pursued a career as a professional dance choreographer in the entertainment industry. In 1995 Damon pursued a degree in Engineering and graduated from University of Texas at Arlington in 1999. In 1998 Damon gained an interest in putting on more muscle and inquired advice and training tips from Ronnie Coleman (IFBB Pro, Mr. Olympia 1998-present) at Powerhouse Gym in Arlington TX. That year Damon acquired his first personal training certification From the National Academy of Sports Medicine and worked as a personal trainer at Bally Total Fitness where he remained until he graduated from college. After working in the Engineering field for 2 and a half years in Dallas, TX and Portland, OR, Damon returned to Houston, TX where he pursued a career as a Houston Firefighter and also became a Nationally Certified Paramedic and worked as paramedic for the city of Houston for 2 years. As a paramedic Damon realized the value in being proactive in helping people stay healthy. After encountering 13 cardiac arrest patients and able to save 8 of those, Damon decided that this reactive approach wasn’t enough. Even though Damon never stopped training people to meet their physical goals he now saw a more important reason to go at this with all he’s got.

“My goal is to instill dedication and persistence through fun and educational fitness routines. Whether your goal is fat loss, muscular gain, rehabilitation or sport specific, I can tailor your routine to meet your individual goals. Let me give you the tools to take your routine and make it a life-style change.”

“Damon is a challenging fitness coach who has pushed me to achieve more than I thought I was capable of doing. He has done so with compassion, a lot of encouragement, and tremendous focus. He seems to have a good idea of balance between pushing too hard and making me do more than I think I can. His combination of compassion and exhortation is unique. I always enjoy my workouts with Damon yet I never feel like we have an easy session.”
