1. My name is Doug. I'm the youngest of 7 kids, 4 boys, 3 girls.
2. I have an older brother who has Cerebral Palsy due to complications at birth. He has accomplished more than most people who have no disabilities.
3. I'm picky about spelling and punctuation.
4. I can build, wire, plumb or repair just about anything and I've done lots of all of it.
5. I was a high-end collision repair and paint tech before I got into signs & graphics.
6. I painted the "Budweiser Snow King" drag sled, which took the world speed record on ice right after I painted it.
7. I love scuba diving. I've dove in places like the Great Blue Hole off the coast of Belize and the underground BonneTerre Mines in Missouri and many places in between.
8. I did a free dive to 90 feet once and thought I was going to die for sure. That wasn't very smart and the dive master let me know about it!
9. I have a 17 year old daughter whom I share joint custody of.
10. I recently found out I have (most likely) an amazing 21 year old son who has no idea I even exist. I hope to change that soon and that it goes well.
11. I had a pet monkey named Charlie when I was young. He used to ride around the neighborhood on the handlebars of my bike, or in the basket of my sister's bike.
12. I never spanked my monkey! -at least not Charlie anyways....
13. My mom died from breast cancer when I was 9, my dad from a stroke when I was 31.
14. I'm a keyboard player in a rock band called...."BORDER PATROL".
15. I wrote
this song. My girlfriend is singing the vocals. I recorded it at home but would like to do it professionally one day.
16. I have never spent a night in a hospital but probably should have.
17. I'm 6' 3" and weigh about 205-210 lbs.
18. I spend too much time on 101 when I should be working to make money!
19. I can't stand anyone who hides behind, or does something bad, in the name of religion.
20. If I say I will do something, I do it. My word is gold, trust is everything.
21. Years ago, I broke up with a beautiful girl who was diagnosed with Leukemia shortly after and died at the age of 30. She was heartbroken and I still feel bad about that to this day.
22. Being disciplined in business is my weakest point. I'm more of a hands-on creator.
23. I have jumped off a 100 foot cliff into water.
24. I have fallen off a 40 foot cliff onto rock (actually, I was PULLED off by someone else who fell and then they landed on top of me).
25. I want to leave a mark...I have a small fear of being forgotten once I am gone.
