  The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR is an experiment constructed to search for
neutrinoless double-beta decay in $^{76}$Ge and to demonstrate the feasibility
to deploy a large-scale experiment in a phased and modular fashion. It consists
of two modules of natural and $^{76}$Ge-enriched germanium detectors totalling
44.1 kg, operating at the 4850' level of the Sanford Underground Research
Facility in Lead, South Dakota, USA. Commissioning of the experiment began in
June 2015, followed by data production with the full detector array in August
2016. The ultra-low background and record energy resolution achieved by the
MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR enable a sensitive neutrinoless double-beta decay search,
as well as additional searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. I will
discuss the design elements that enable these searches, along with the latest
results, focusing on the neutrinoless double-beta decay search. I will also
discuss the current status and the future plans of the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR,
as well as the plans for a future tonne-scale $^{76}$Ge experiment.
