Doug earned his B.S. degree in Engineering and M.B.A. degree with a concentration in Finance and Accounting from Cornell University. As an NROTC program graduate, he served in the U.S. Navy on active duty for four years as the navigator on a destroyer. Doug’s military experience had a profound impact on his life, teaching him many life lessons as a young man. He developed strong values of duty, honor and integrity.
After graduate school, Doug began a 20-year long successful civilian career. He worked for a number of companies, large and small, public and private, across a broad range of industries. He held a number of key leadership roles in finance, operations and sales management, and traveled extensively all over the globe. During that time, Doug began building and managing his own investment portfolio, an avocation he thoroughly enjoyed and one, as it turned out, he was quite successful at doing. In 2002, Doug joined Morgan Stanley and began sharing his knowledge and experience with his own clients as they plan for their financial futures.
Originally from the San Francisco Bay area, Doug now lives in Frankfort, IL. Upon leaving active duty in 1978, he maintained his affiliation with the Navy as an active member of the Naval Reserve for over 20 years, retiring as a Navy Captain in 1999. Today, Doug is involved with his alma mater as a member of the Cornell Club of Chicago and the Johnson School (Business) Club of Chicago.
