Damon and his wife Melanie keep a full international speaking schedule. They have 8 children and a growing tribe of grandchildren. Together they have founded and lead “Joyful Ever After,” an organization which helps couples get the marriage that they want from the marriage they have (joyfuleverafter.org). Damon serves at the host for FORGE’s “Patriarchs” series, providing commentary and insightful insight along the way.
