Damon has been married to Kristi and it's the best thing that ever happened to me other than my relationship with the Lord. They have been married since 1996 . 4 boys grace their home, Benjamin their oldest is on his own and is doing well, Connor, Ethan, and Jackson. Benjamin went to Haiti 1st time when he was 9. Now the entire family have visited Haiti.

Princeton Texas is where they call home and Damon is on staff at Hope Church with campuses at Frisco and Mckinney Texas. He oversees the kids ministry at Hope in a Central Leadership position that oversees each campus. Reaching families is a passion. Damon says this area is a Melting Pot beyond your imagination. God is bringing all kinds of people together!

Damon likes to work, he does not have many hobbies. Enjoys sitting and talking on the back porch. Likes to play with kids. In the process now of building a chicken coup and buying chicks. The boys will take on most of those responsibilities. Sitting on 5 acres of property, they hope to have goats along with the chickens.

Our family has a huge heart for Haiti. We have supported children in Haiti for years. We took our whole family to Haiti and they all fell in love with the ministry and culture. Playing with the kids and working with them on the building. Puppet shows and building were a few of the activities for that trip. Have started saving now for their next trip around Thanksgiving. The boys are also helping to earn money for next years trip.
