Biography
With a master’s in electronic engineering, Doug worked for major companies in that field before switching to real estate for 12 years.

He now fills his time working with his longtime girlfriend and now fiancée, Serenity editor Holly Jorgensen, making Serenity the best it can be while occasionally running off to favorite Colorado hideouts.
