About…
For more than two decades, Damon has made a home for himself on the leading edge of technology. Utilizing the Internet since the dial up days of yore, he continues to create progressive systems that allow companies to operate faster, more effectively, and more profitably!
Damon began his technology career in the US Marine Corps. Hand selected by his commanding general, he played an integral role in scouting, evaluating, and implementing the latest, most advanced technologies. At the time the technologies he utilized, such as IP video conferencing and logistical management systems - commonplace in today’s market - were groundbreaking and cutting edge, even to the government.
After his military career, Damon’s true nature as tech geek and digital entrepreneur emerged as he consulted with several companies, using technology to streamline and innovate their processes from the ground up. He renewed the operational effervescence of one of the nation’s oldest Pepsi distributers through the complete revitalization of their internal systems.
In 2001, the world of real estate opened its arms to Damon, offering him a place as a consultant with a fast-growing mortgage company that focused on real estate investors. In that rapidly expanding high-speed market, Damon developed systems for management workflow, lead tracking, and total business automation that skyrocketed many of his Loan Officers to national production rankings.
It was there in the trenches of the booming mortgage market that the concept for REI BlackBook was born. It’s mission: work more effectively, productively, and profitably by simplifying in-house operations. In 2009, after several years of testing, a beta group of REI BlackBook users began seeing exceptional results, leading to the initial public launch and record day 1 sales. Today, REI BlackBook is the software of choice for leading real estate investors and the recommended platform by the nation’s #1 Real Estate Education Company.
