Damon is currently employed as a Banker for one of the world’s leading and largest investment banking firms located in Stamford, CT. He has worked various jobs, being a Credit Risk Administrator as well as a Marketing Consultant for two global companies. Throughout the numerous positions he has held, he stayed focused and determined to completing his educational goals all the while writing his novels as a hobby. Life for him “ain’t been no crystal stair” as once written by Langston Hughes, one of his favorite writers, but he was determined to overcome any obstacles set before him.
Being only thirty-six years old, Damon says he still has a lot of living to do. He has truly lived more in his thirty six years than most people will ever live in a lifetime and the power and strength in his writing will tell the story.
Even though Damon has achieved his educational goals, writing has always been his true passion. MY LIFE OR HIS DEATH is the first of four novels written by Damon to be published. Everyone should be on the lookout for this young man as he is a force to be reckoned with in the Literary World.view less
