Damian co-founded ASI in 2014 with a vision to continue supporting growth companies in Chicago. Prior to his work in employee benefits, Damian successfully developed the Small Business Development Center with the support of the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce, helping small and emerging businesses raise funding, comprehensively grow, and succeed in the Chicago area. His passion for small business development is what ignited his desire to co-found ASI, and is also what drives him today to support all ASI clients to attract and retain the best possible talent to support their growth. With his wife and two young boys, Damian resides in River Forest, IL.
