Doug's Story

When I was 17, I was on a dangerous path—dealing drugs in high school, teetering on the edge of addiction, and barely making it through school. My life had no direction, and I felt like I'd never amount to anything.

Everything changed my senior year when, in October 2002, my mom passed away. Through a series of events, my life took a remarkable turn. I found purpose, embraced personal growth, married the woman of my dreams,  climbed the ranks to become an executive at a large non-profit, launched a leadership development company, and became a proud father of four. In a nutshell, I’ve built a fulfilling life both professionally and personally.

The principles that I have learned and implemented over the last 20 years are a proven roadmap to building a great life. I’m here to share them with you and to walk alongside you on your journey to fulfilling your purpose and maximizing your potential.

With two decades of experience, I’ve honed a set of principles that serve as a tried-and-true roadmap to greatness. My mission is to impart these invaluable insights to you and be your companion on the path to realizing your purpose and unlocking your full potential.
