Description

In this intimate and personal address, Damon shares his cautionary tale and message of hope in a brutally honest presentation. Damon takes his audience on an emotional journey from his great success as a starting quarterback at a Division One school, to the pitfalls of a career-ending injury and an insatiable meth habit.

Damon will share his nightmare life of meth-addicted crime and receiving the maximum punishment (life) during this Inspirational Keynote. His survival stories throughout a span of seven years in a Texas maximum security prison and the lessons he learned while incarcerated, are riveting. Join Damon as he takes you on an exploration of what it means to change the environment around you for the better despite the pressures you face.
