“Now a proud American, returning to this community feels like a full-circle moment. I’m driven to do the greatest possible good by helping people align their finances with their purpose, grounded in trust and integrity. In this industry, collaboration is key, and being part of a strong team allows us to deliver clear, strategic, and deeply personal solutions.”

He earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from Maryville College in 2018, where he was also a standout member of the Fighting Scots golf team. Doug began his career as a trader with a local broker-dealer, gaining hands-on experience at the trade desk and developing a strong understanding of market dynamics – laying the groundwork for his transition into wealth management.
