Waykeeper Farm & Nerdery

Neither my husband nor myself have a farming background, we didn’t grow up around livestock and we both had very small vegetable gardens as kids.

We wanted to get involved in small-scale farming because we believe that big agriculture is not sustainable.

I first learned about permaculture design when I started planting trees in my suburban backyard outside Dallas, Texas and they kept dying.

I learned more about the interconnected world of soil life. I got to appreciate how important water flow is, and how planting more than one thing together can help the whole do better.

After successfully planting some fruit trees, I wanted to bring animals into the picture to help increase our fertility and add diversity. 

So we made the plunge and bought a 17-acre farm. We kept a few of the original horses as boarders, and we’re grateful because we learned so much about farm life from these longtime horse owners who have seen it all.

After moving we jumped in with both feet and welcomed chickens, geese, ducks, and dairy sheep to our farm. Not to mention a few barn cats, and all of the amazing birds, butterflies, and bees.

We’ve been called “software nerds who pick up sheep turds” and that feels like a great way to put it.

The farm is an ever-evolving project, where we continue to plant more trees, and practice rotational grazing in an effort to regenerate the land and sequester carbon.

Hi there, I’m Damon.

I work with men who believe they can be a better version of themselves in the relationships that matter most.

Somewhere, in the space between toxic masculinity (a phrase that does more harm than good) and the incel groups, there’s a place for men to feel good about being men, free from divisive and pejorative characterizations of men.

This is what we can discover when working together.

My whole life, I’ve been training to serve you as your coach. In High School, I was a peer counselor to middle schoolers going through adolescence. In my twenties, I was a personal trainer. In my thirties, I was a leadership coach in the fitness industry. 

All these roles were about facilitating how one relates better to the people and parts of one's life. It’s always been about relationships. As such, my role as your coach is to be your thinking partner on the relationships that matter most in your life.

We’re not limited to significant others. Many relationships could be worth our attention.

Relationships with:

✔️ Family members
✔️ Work
✔️ Business partners
✔️ Spirituality
✔️ God

In the end, we always come back to the most important relationship, the one with self.

“I’m… happier and [more] fulfilled in the way my life is today and how I show up for the people I serve and support. I bring more intention into every single aspect of my life which has enabled me to deepen my relationship with my wife and my clients.” ~Matthew Biggar

"He has helped me reclaim the confidence I had lost, which then gave me the courage to be intentional and deeply authentic... setting boundaries at work, seeking help on projects, honoring my needs, and, yes, sometimes accepting what is." ~Steven Mills

If you’re ready to rediscover your wisdom and build more meaningful relationships—starting with yourself—let’s connect. DM me.
