Doug was born and raised in North Carolina to a military family in the Ft Bragg/ Fayetteville area where he made the rank of Eagle Scout. After High School, Doug attended UNCW where he studied Physical Geography, Philosophy and History. To pay the bills during college Doug worked in restaurants as a cook. He excelled in those restaurants where he learned about food, wine, and working with difficult people.

Doug came to Real Estate by following a passion for architecture and an interest in the study of the phenomena of the "Home", from the cave dwelling to the present. Homes are something that we appear to always have had and used to be something that humans created for themselves. In our modern society that isn't the case anymore, and specialist Realtors help people complete this essential work of finding a home.

Buying a house is usually the largest and most important purchase that people make for themselves. The emotion, energy, and trust that goes into selecting a Realtor to help in buying or selling a house is not something that Doug takes lightly. Helping people find the place that they are going to call home is an important responsibility that Doug treats with the upmost respect and care. When you hit the inevitable bumps in the road, he stays calm and always keeps his client's best interest in mind, from viewing houses to going under contract to then to the closing table.

Doug loves Wilmington and Coastal North Carolina and believes it to be the best place in the entire country to live. He is eager to show and tell you why this is the best place and then to help make it happen for you.
