Damian’s passion for brewing was ignited in 1992, when he made his first batch of homebrew while attending Michigan State University. That batch didn’t turn out so well, but the thrill of making something that wasn’t available in the marketplace stuck. He’s been brewing innovation ever since.
A serial entrepreneur, Damian brings ten years of corporate management and fifteen years of beverage marketing expertise to the table. As the Co-founder and CEO of Fagan Welles LLC, a multi-disciplinary food and beverage design and marketing agency in San Francisco, he is responsible for overseeing the firm’s day to day operations including creative direction, strategy, finance and technology. Fagan Welles is a thriving boutique agency with a roster of both startup and Fortune 500 clients.

As CEO of Almanac Beer Company, Damian is responsible for managing the day to day operations of the company including finance, legal matters, and general administration. An accomplished commercial artist, Damian also brings his award-winning branding, marketing and visual design experience to bear as Almanac’s Chief Marketing Officer, responsible for creative direction, brand positioning, strategy, marketing communications and visual design.
