Uniting creative, sustainable design with finance, entitlement and property-acquisition expertise, Anthony Damon has taken on many responsibilities in his 13 years in construction. Damon graduated from the University of Notre Dame's Rome Studies Architecture Program and followed with a master's in business administration from the New York Institute of Technology. He is known as an innovative leader. For the University of California San Diego Medical Campus, Damon incorporated rammed earth to make a standard electric-service building more sustainable and better looking. Concern for others also guides him. Damon is treasurer for ACE San Diego. He is a board member for the eco-engineering advisory council of Southwest High School. And as a volunteer with Best Buddies, he has had a mentally challenged pen pal for 15 years in South Bend, Ind.
