LET'S GET PERSONAL
Doug has a deep appreciation for travel and culture. From ancient wonders like Angkor Wat in Cambodia to the colonial town of San Miguel de Allende, he’s always seeking new perspectives—just preferably on land.
A self-proclaimed land lover, Doug has a debilitating fear of sharks (and, let’s be honest, anything lurking in the water). You can find him poolside, cocktail in hand, fully at peace.
Doug believes in cutting through the noise with honesty, empathy, and directness. He’s known for his no-nonsense approach—always constructive, always real.
