Damien Clark

R. Damien Clark, Macintosh Consultant, opened its very unofficial doors in 1998. Most clients were individuals, but individuals including Herbie Hancock and Alan Kay. After working through Evolution Film & Tape on the first seasons of Big Brother and Fear Factor, R. Damien Clark picked up its first production clients in 2001. Feedwire incorporated in its present incarnation in 2002. Since then its client base has expanded steadily, mostly attracting clients in reality and specials production.

Damien’s background in geekery is vast. He started with a screwdriver and a dishwasher at five. Curious about the dishwasher’s inner workings, he disassembled the dishwasher entirely. It never worked again. By seven or so, the reverse process began to work out and machines went back together as easily as they came apart. 1984 and a father with a new job at Apple brought the Macintosh into Damien’s life. The two have been inseparable ever since.

What can I say? I’ve been taking things apart and figuring out how they work from a young age, but I’m sure most nerds can recall similar events that started it all.

Like many before me, I moved to LA for creative interests, but fell back on my education and established career as an IT professional. I came across a Craigslist ad that said, “IT Nerd Rockstar Wanted”. Uh… you rang??? I couldn’t have written it better myself so I interviewed for Feedwire in a small apartment on Venice beach with the promise of great things. When I started in 2009, there were 3 nerds, now there are 20 and our client portfolio and services have taken new heights. Whether it was the lone producer with the dead MacBook Pro burning the midnight oil in their LA apartment or helping a large business find innovative ways to leverage IT and support for the long haul, we made it happen and here we are in a blink. I have always strived to provide the white glove experience that Feedwire was founded on. Treating clients like family, listening and solving problems has built trust and lasting relationships.

My interests outside of work? Well, I’m a self-help junky, always looking for ways to improve and learn a new skill. I’m also a DIY nut taking on remodeling jobs in my house one tool and YouTube video at a time. Did I mention I have a Big Fat Greek Family? Yep, just like the movie and the reason for moving my family of 5 back to Ohio. I never thought I would leave my dear LA, but still travel and support amazing customers remotely every day.
