Perceiving life as a journey, he has ventured down many roads and found all to be enlightening, heartbreaking, exhilarating, frustrating, romantic, violent and uniquely authentic. He has lived in various locations of California including Citrus Heights, Rocklin, Santa Barbara, Canoga Park and North Hollywood. Doug currently resides in Visalia, CA located in Tulare County in an area known as the central valley. Throughout this young writer’s life, he has been employed as a lifeguard, restaurant busboy, video store clerk, book store clerk, phlebotomist/laboratory assistant, health insurance agent, literary agency intern, film and television production assistant and music supervisor. In 2003, he received a Bachelor’s degree in Cinema & Television Arts with emphasis in Screenwriting.
