Damon lived his formative years as a Muslim and practiced the tenets of Islam through the teachings of Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam, until he became a born again believer of Jesus Christ at the age of 16, and began preaching a year later.

Damon holds Master of Arts in Religious Studies and a Ph.D. in Leadership from Beulah Heights University. He has done additional graduate studies at Virginia Union University Samuel DeWitt Proctor School of Theology, Regent University School of Divinity, and at St. Petersburg Seminary and Yeshiva. His ministry spans 28 years and he has pastored churches in Brooklyn, New York, Michigan, and in Florida. He is married to Nadine Richardson of Jamaica, WI and is the father of three boys and one girl, Jalen, Chandler, Amare and Nyasia. He is also a former elementary and special education teacher.

It is Damon’s hope and prayer that by deconstructing false ideas about Christianity, you will be better able to articulate the basis of your faith, and point Millennials, Urbanites, and other searching Christians to God’s word, and the gospel of Jesus Christ as the only answer to the needs of all humanity.
