I graduated from Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois. After graduation, I spent the next few years as an English-as-a-second-language instructor in Changchun, China. Doug then enrolled in The John Marshall Law School in Chicago, Illinois. I has previously practiced in several areas of the law but is now focused on real estate.

In addition to his practice, I enjoy spending my free time fencing. I specialize in foil fencing. Fencing is often referred to as physical chess as physical ability is important but the ablility to predict and adapt to your opponent’s actions is a required skill.  I has been fencing for several years and has reached the second highest letter ranking you can receive by the United State Fencing Association.
