Meet Campaign Manager Damien Blackwell Campfire Conversations - 11-21-2025

As momentum builds around Tyrene Cook’s campaign for Park County Commissioner, one of the strongest forces behind the scenes is her brother and Campaign Manager, Damien Blackwell.

Damien was raised in a religious household in Gypsum, Colorado, after being adopted into the Proffitt family—a home built on faith, discipline, compassion, and strong community values. This foundation continues to shape Damien’s character, leadership style, and lifelong commitment to service.

Damien and Tyrene share a deep sibling bond rooted in loyalty, integrity, and shared purpose. Their mutual belief in accountability, honest leadership, and community service now fuels the heart of this campaign.

Today, Damien proudly stands beside his sister as her Campaign Manager, leading campaign strategy, communication, and community outreach with clarity, dedication, and a steady hand. He graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a degree in Psychology, bringing a strong understanding of people, communication, and community engagement to his role.

Outside of politics, Damien is an entrepreneur, creator, and visionary. He is the owner of UniqueThis, a rapidly growing social media platform serving over 300,000 users worldwide through its website and mobile apps. In addition to his tech background, Damien has extensive experience in sales and customer service across multiple telecommunications companies—skills that strengthen his ability to connect with residents, coordinate volunteers, and support the fast-paced needs of a countywide campaign.

Together, Damien and Tyrene form a dedicated team committed to serving, uplifting, and improving Park County for all who call it home.
