An avid Leeds United fan, Damien has been refereeing in the Hudson Valley since 2014 and officiates USSF, NISOA, NFHS at all levels. Outside of soccer, Damien is a helicopter pilot, warden of Christ Church Episcopal in Red Hook and a keen hiker and camper of the Catskills and Adirondack mountains in what little spare time he has. He has two grown college age children, one an Everton fan, the other a supporter of Southampton - so game day is always interesting.
