Damon Faulkner grew up with a creative background in fine arts, as well as with a fascination with how things work and how things are built. While in school he naturally gravitated towards the wood and metal shops, where he discovered his love for making and working with his hands. When not working for OES, he can be found in his shop designing and building furniture or spending time with his family, his dog Ripley, and his cats, Neville and Luna. He graduated from Texas Tech University with a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture (’07) and from the University of Michigan with a Master of Architecture (’10).
