About Damian Buchman
I am a social entrepreneur with nearly 10 years in sports facility management, along with an additional 10 years in the nonprofit sector. I pride myself in being a problem solver and an idea generator, with the ability to envision a project from A to Z. A leader in the adaptive sports industry, I have founded two charitable endeavors aimed at delivering a greater quality of life and valued opportunity in fitness, athletics and recreation. I’ve delivered a vision for the future, transformed a community’s recreation, and oversaw the merger and collaboration of six charities.I have a passion for helping people realize their best self, and delivering a message of hope through the power of: positivity, possibility, passion and perseverance.
