After earning his Masters of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary he has been a youth pastor for 30+ years at both Saddleback & Mariners Church (currently) in Southern CA.

In addition, Doug also works with several amazing organizations as: 
‍
1. Co-founder & President of DownloadYouthMinistry.com.
2. Director of Content for HomeWord’s Center for Youth/Family.
3. Consultant, speaker and content creator for Orange.
4. Director of Strengthening Relationships at Pacific Dental Services.

When Doug is not working or hanging with his family you can probably find him at a local Crossfit box, drinking Diet Coke while reading at one of his many fast-food "offices", or binging on a Lakers' game.
