Personal
Doug was born and raised in Broadview Heights, Ohio. He grew up playing sports, fishing, hanging out with friends and enjoying everything life had to offer a kid in the 70s and 80s. Fast forward to the present and he spends his time camping and fishing with his daughter, walks endlessly with his chocolate lab, and enjoys the company of family and neighbors.
Professional
For over 20 years Doug has provided insurance, investments and financial planning services. Doug has consistently qualified for industry quality awards throughout his career. His office is located in Akron, Ohio and he is licensed to practice in several states throughout the country.
Over the years, the financial industry has evolved and advanced enabling Doug to utilize a holistic financial planning process. The Greater Cleveland area has been home to several small, mid-size and global law firms where Doug established many of his original business relationships. These relationships have grown and developed over time and Doug and his team have been able to evolve to help discuss, plan and execute to meet the needs of his clients. Working from the Cleveland/Akron area, Doug maintains relationships with clients throughout the United States.
The most rewarding aspects of this career have been the ongoing conversations with clients, hearing about the personal and business successes, the enjoyment of family, and overcoming the challenges of life.

How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
