Educated at the University of Missouri (Kansas City) and Conception Seminary College (Conception, MO), he has earned a Bachelor's Degree in Communication Studies and a Master's Degree in Curriculum & Instruction.
He is a columnist for The Examiner and a motivational/inspirational speaker focusing on career & personal development and Down syndrome advocacy.
He has faced and overcome some of life's most severe adversities: The loss of integrity, lost careers, the sudden death of his father, a son born with Down syndrome, divorce, lost relationships, bankruptcy, legal issues, the victim of a drunk driver, and a battle with cancer.
He overcame all of these and reclaimed wonder, joy and meaning in life with belief in four principles:
1) God created you and He does not make mistakes
2) No one is as bad as the worst thing they've done
3) No matter one's past, life always holds potential
4) Unless we can forgive, we will never fully experience love.
Reminding us of the importance of virtues such as integrity, truth, sincerity, faith, mercy, fidelity, love and forgiveness, Doug defines the purpose of life and teaches that the past holds no power over us.
Join him as he provides uncomplicated and straightforward guidance that will lead you to the promise of life’s wonder, the realization of life’s joy and the fulfillment of life’s meaning.view less
