Damone Bester was born and raised on Chicago\'s Southside to blue-collar parents who were married 49 years, and one older brother, whose backyard scuffles taught Damone one lesson: Never quit.
He currently lives in the Twin Cities area and enjoys fishing, bowling, basketball (watching, not playing), bean bags, and bragging about his nephew and nieces..
He has a bachelor\'s degree in Psychology from Illinois State University and has spent most of his profession in the Social Services sector.
Damone is an author, poet, aspiring screenwriter, and voiceover artist.
A brief conversation with another Mendel alum stoked the fire to pen his first novel about the school he so loved.
He wasn\'t just a student at Mendel; he lived and breathed Blue Smoke, the mantra of his track team brethren.
