Senior Airman Damian grew up in North Jersey and began serving his community as a volunteer firefighter at the age of 16. Driven by a desire to avoid student debt and supported by a loving family, he decided to pursue a military career. He entered the Delayed Entry Program (DEP) and enlisted directly into Security Forces upon graduating from high school.

Hobbies: Off duty, he serves as a volunteer firefighter in Minot, North Dakota, while independently working toward his Firefighter I and Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) certifications. SrA Damian is also pursuing a Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) degree in Criminal Justice and prioritizes physical fitness in his free time.

Future Goals: Looking ahead, his goal is to transition to the Air National Guard to continue advancing his military career, earning rank, and becoming a dedicated supervisor who mentors others, much like the leaders who have inspired him. In his civilian career, he plans to pursue his passion for public service by becoming a full-time firefighter or law enforcement officer.
