About
Hi there, I’m Damon.
I work with men who believe they can be a better version of themselves in the relationships that matter most.
Somewhere, in the space between toxic masculinity (a phrase that does more harm than good) and the incel groups, there’s a place for men to feel good about being men, free from divisive and pejorative characterizations of men.
This is what we can discover when working together.
My whole life, I’ve been training to serve you as your coach. In High School, I was a peer counselor to middle schoolers going through adolescence. In my twenties, I was a personal trainer. In my thirties, I was a leadership coach in the fitness industry.
All these roles were about facilitating how one relates better to the people and parts of one's life. It’s always been about relationships. As such, my role as your coach is to be your thinking partner on the relationships that matter most in your life.
We’re not limited to significant others. Many relationships could be worth our attention.
Relationships with:
✔️ Family members
✔️ Work
✔️ Business partners
✔️ Spirituality
✔️ God
In the end, we always come back to the most important relationship, the one with self.
Personal Life
My wife and I live in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
We left the US in 2012, living in Costa Rica for five years. In 2017, we moved to Playa, and never looked back.
Mexico is the home we never knew we wanted.
Three times a week, we play beach volleyball with a group that we organize. Daily, we both keep workout routines, take walks with our dogs, and practice forms of mindfulness meditation.
When time provides, we venture out. Mexico is a huge place to discover. But we’ll go anywhere that sounds exciting and will have us.
My Style
What I bring to the table is my desire to reduce suffering for individuals. That, and my sense of humor, which is occasionally good for a grin.
People who spend time with me report that a feeling of genuine compassion is what they most notice about my style.
I think this comes from a desire to get it, whatever “it” is. Even if you don’t know yourself? I want to get to the heart of what you’re saying. It matters.
For one, you deserve to be heard.
You also deserve to be seen.
You matter.
To find successful solutions to any challenge, we must start with the most honest version of the What. As in, what exactly is going on.
There is no path to confidence that doesn’t start with a complete confrontation with what is.
Even when it makes us uncomfortable. In fact, especially then.
