Mini bio
From Indiana to everywhere.
Damon grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana. As a teenager, he worked as a barista to help pay for a Spanish-study trip to Barcelona, where he stayed with a local family. He first came to Paris in 2011 for a study-abroad year.
Making the travel show he wanted to watch.
With Jo Franco, he built DamonAndJo and the Shut Up and Go travel project. They began filming their travels for friends and family, turning affordable adventures and language learning into a business. The duo became Travel finalists at the 2018 Shorty Awards.
His own lens.
His solo work mixes travel with the conversations that happen along the way. Red Wine Talks gives friends room to discuss identity, relationships and the bigger questions. For his 2021 pilot Around the World in 80 Dates, he explored Romania through dating and cultural encounters.
Learning, then sharing it.
His French courses bring grammar together with slang and pop culture. In 2023, he published You Are a Global Citizen, a guided journal about culture and identity. He later took that interest in self-examination into in-person workshops and the online Life Direction course.
