Intro:
We start the show with Doug giving some background dirt on what Gary was like as a kid. Gary quickly tries to redirect the conversation to start the actual show!
Guest Intro:
After spending 20+ years at Staples, Inc., working in Supply Chain Management and Logistics, Doug took the plunge! He quit his job and started a new career as a self-employed Real Estate Broker and Investor.
After many years as a Broker for a small firm in his hometown, learning everything that he could about the industry, he worked to create a new Commercial Real Estate and Property Management Firm in which he remains a Partner today. They currently have eight fantastic agents, admin support staff, and one dedicated Property Manager. With growth each year, this experience has been one of the most rewarding of his life.
Doug personally invests in both Residential and Commercial Real Estate and encourages others to do so at every chance he gets!
Doug is married with two children and a cat (Little Dude). He enjoys spending time with his family, metal working in his garage, hiking, and enjoying nature.
Oh, and he’s Gary's older and wiser brother.... :)
