| Hi, I'm Doug. I'm a guy who might start singing a song when a word in a conversation triggers a memory from a musical I was in or something I heard on the radio. As a kid I liked drawing horses. I ended up back at the drawing board,and now design products that improve the way people live and work. In our neighborhood, the kids call me "the guy who always walks his dog", but they all know her name is Lady. They also see me in our backyard mowing the lawn or harvesting from the garden with my long sleeves and cowboy hat in the middle of the summer. I'm a far cry from a cowboy, but man do I fry. I'm amazed and love to prepare and eat food that I grew from a little seed I planted months ago. This feeling is similar to my dream to be a daddy. I look forward to seeing my little kiddo grow up and thrive because I was there to provide support and nourishment. My life's thesis statement: I want to make the world a better place one smile at a time. |
| How would Marianne describe Doug? Doug is the kind of person that you always want to be around. He is kind, gentle, funny, and a big kid at heart. He makes friends easily and loves to make people laugh. He is an entertainer. He loves to sing, dance, perform, or be goofy. At one of the Stake Dances we attended, he found an audience when he danced the Macarena faster than anyone else there. One of the main reasons that I married Doug is because I knew he could never hurt me. He is loyal, honest and treats me like a Queen. He thinks of others first before himself. He does simple things like when he goes to get himself a glass of water, he asks if I want one too. If I don't answer, he will bring one anyway. |
| Why would he make a good Dad? Doug's best quality is his patience and postivite attitude. Doug has worked with many children and always encourages them to think with their imagination. He once helped my younger brother build an Iceberg House out of styrofoam for a school project. Another time he drew animals for his nieces to color and then helped them attach the drawings to wooden skewers to make a puppet show. He knows how to play with children, which I find is an important quality in an adult. It helps build their trust in him and helps build their confidence. |
