Doug's primary roles in life are Husband, Dad and Grandfather. His family is everything to him! Vocationally, Doug has committed his life to helping people--primarily teenagers and families. After earning his Masters of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary he has been a youth pastor for 35+ years at both Saddleback & Mariners Church (where he currently oversees Youth and teaches at a monthly Marriage Matters event) in Southern CA.
In addition to working with great organizations, Doug is also an author of 50+ books, a speaker at conferences, churches, and corporate events, and the content architect for GettingReadyForMarriage.com & IntentionalParenting.com.
When Doug is not working or hanging with his family you can probably find him at a local Crossfit box, playing Pickleball, binging on a Lakers' game, or drinking Diet Coke while reading at his fast-food "office".
