Born in New York City, Doug grew up in Connecticut while still exploring the city he called home. He spent a lot of his youth exploring his imagination. He dabbled in plays, screen plays, poetry, lyricism, essays, writing stories, and singing in various
bands.
After graduating from Roger Williams College, Doug went on to work for educational non-profits and school systems. He
never lost his enthusiasm for writing, creating, and performing, though. Over the years, Doug has been a writer, an actor, a lead singer, a comedian, a DJ, a fantasy football commissioner, a poet, a lyricist, and a really bad guitarist. He finally honed all of those skills so he could teach middle school students and bring education to life for the next generation.
Doug lives in North Carolina. He is a middle school teacher, a football coach, a loving husband, and a proud father who spends his free time creating stories like Intercepted, his debut novel. His goal is to bring characters you love to life and to share their stories as they relate to the world around us all
