Times are crazy, balance is needed. We’ll get through these next 4 years together, heads high and sharper than ever!

About Me
Hey, I’m Doug! I’m a business owner from the West Side of Chicago, a son, brother, father, husband, great friend, rapper, poet, writer, Stoic, regular guy and many things to the various people that know me. Despite all of the things I’m known for with family and friends, I mostly find joy in helping others by way of thoughtful conversation and well timed sarcasm.
