His professional career started with enlistment in the Marines serving in the     ranks of private to captain. After military service, Texas Instruments employed him in various manufacturing, quality assurance, and customer service positions.  At TI he:  

§       Reduced manufacturing cycle time by 30% §       Achieved cost saving in excess of $25,000 annually §       18% reduction in manufacturing defects for defense systems §       10% annual growth in new customers being served

  Doug earned his BA and MBA degrees from Chapman College and the University of Dallas respectively while attending night school. He was chairman of a fund raising effort for the Boy Scouts of America which exceeded the goal by 123%.  And he completed the Dallas White Rock Marathon annually for 25 consecutive times and now serves as volunteer.   Doug’s effort is to address the journey rather than the destination.  Audiences often know the answers to their future improvements.  But at times an instructor/facilitator is needed for people to engage in discussion, discover their answers and to make decision(s).  An ideal audience would be either inspired or dissatisfied with their current situation, have a vision of future success and ready for the first-steps.   *Oh My Gosh!
