Professional

Doug holds a bachelor’s degree from Vanderbilt University and after graduation attended the University of Maryland School of Law. While attending law school, Doug kickstarted his career working for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Though he enjoyed success as an estate and business planning attorney early in his career, Doug eventually determined that law was not his true calling. He loved using his expertise to help his clients plan for their legacy and their businesses, and when he was introduced to the financial planning career at Northwestern Mutual in 2010, he knew he had found a path that blended his skills with his true passion for helping others. His experience as an attorney makes Doug uniquely positioned to collaborate with his client’s legal counsel while working on complex retirement income plans as well as business and estate plans.

 

After joining Northwestern Mutual, Doug continued his education by earning his CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® and Chartered Life Underwriter® designations which allow him to serve his clients to the highest standards. Doug has over a decade of experience working with families, individuals, and business owners to create comprehensive financial plans, and enjoys helping his clients create a vision for their futures and live their lives without financial worries.

Doug is married to his wife Kelly and has three daughters.  Outside of the office he enjoys spending time with his family in the outdoors and completing Ironman triathlons.
