Damian was born and raised in Southern California.  After graduating high school and attending college, he began his law enforcement career as a police officer in 1990.  Damian learned about collective bargaining while serving on his police association's board of directors.  He participated as a bargaining team member, doing research and discussing strategy.  He was promoted to sergeant and was later elected president of the management association.  While on the management association board, Damian took a more direct role in negotiations and eventually become a lead negotiator, successfully negotiating management association contracts. 

In 2005, Damian moved to an Orange County municipal police agency.  He was elected to the police association's board of directors in 2006.  In 2007, Damian was selected as the lead negotiator where he worked closely with Dieter Dammeier for the first time.  With Dieter's supervision, the negotiating team successfully reached an agreement with the city establishing his agency as one of the highest paid police departments in Southern California. 

Damian has since joined Lackie Dammeier & McGill as a labor specialist, conducting contract negotiations for our clients.  In addition to working for Lackie, Dammeier & McGill.
