Damian Tatum
Damian Tatum is a New Orleans native and an aerospace engineer trained at LSU and Penn State. His professional work has included marine design, project management, and rocket thermofluids analysis. He's currently a Chief Engineer at Belcan, developing next generation space vehicles. Away from his work desk, he's prone to getting tangled up in side-projects: columnist at the LSU Reveille during his undergrad years, managing editor of the rabble-rousing Voices of Central Pennsylvania in grad school, a regular on education projects with the Young Leadership Council, managing editor of the satirical New Orleans Levee Newspaper, and a senior member of the Horizon Initiative Infrastructure Committee (later spun off as the Water Collaborative). He is passionate about good design, sustainable infrastructure, and well-managed programs, and he believes New Orleans has a unique opportunity to step away from broken utility paradigms and try something legitimately new.
