Doug was bitten with the broadcasting bug as a kid listening to Knick and Ranger games on the radio. That led to he and his friend Pete announcing the play-by-play while playing Bobby Hull table hockey in the basement and street hockey in the driveway.

Doug got behind his first radio mike at WBAU 90.3FM, Adelphi University's radio station doing top of the hour newscasts. In the first week on the air, President Reagan was shot and spent the next four hours anchoring the events of that historic day.

At WBAU Doug did play-by-play of Adelph Panther Basketball, Soccer and Lacrosse, interview programs and brought the Big Band Sound to Long Island on his weekly show.

After graduation, Doug continued working in radio at WHLI, WKJY and WGBB doing sports, news and providing reports for both of New York City's all-news outlets, WINS and WCBS.

He moved to Tampa in 1988 where he hosted a weekly Jazz program at WUSF-FM as well as a national sports-talk show on the Sun Broadcasting Network.

Doug also worked at St. Petersburg's WLFF as a copy writer, newscaster as well as hosting a Big Band show.

When WFNS became Tampa Bay's first all-sports station out of Plant City, Doug moved there as anchor, reporter and talk-show host.

In 1994 he moved to Sarasota and hosted an oldies program on WAMR and a Hot Country show on WCTQ. He also worked at WUSF's Radio Reading Service, a special frequency for blind and incapacitated listeners reading the daily newspapers over the air.

Doug is currently Station Manager at WSRQ in Sarasota, FL. He created the "Suncoast Magazine" where he has interviewed over 2500 celebrities, authors, politicians, athletes and newsmakers. In addition, he hosts and produces "The Big Band Files" featuring the best in American Popular music and interviews with the artists and singers. In addition, he created and hosts "NFL Magazine" and "Sports Forum".  

Doug is a panelist on "Talking Sports" and "It's All About Health" which air on Comcast Cable Television throughout southwest Florida.

Doug also serves as Master of Ceremonies at various events most recently the Sarasota Jazz Festival.

In addition to radio, Doug has worked in the Information Technology field as a technical writer and website developer as well as owning a video production business.

When not on the air, Doug enjoys tennis, golf and digital photography.
