About Me

My name is Damian and I was born with a congenital bicuspid aortic valve (been corrected actually unicuspid). In May 2012, I was diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis and moderate regurgitation. I became symptomatic beginning 2015 and I'm now beginning the journey that will transform me heart, body, and soul.
