Doug in real life
What keeps you busy outside of work?
I have been an avid swimmer since grade school and love all things related to water, including lakes, rivers, and oceans. I’m also an Airstreamer and enjoy camping with my family. I love gardening, tending to my chickens, and cooking — I met my wife at a cooking school.
What makes you tick?
I am committed to continual personal development, always wanting to improve. I am eager to help others learn through my life experiences in providing financial guidance.
Any words you try to live by?
Never give up; always keep learning. Goals must be written down and have thoughtful plans to achieve them.
