In 2001-2002, Doug entered his 14th season as the General Manager of the EMU Hockey team. Along with former Head Coach Mike Donnelly, Doug started the rebirth of EMU as a national powerhouse back in 1988-89. Since that auspicious start, the Eagles have made the ACHA National Championships every year since 1990-91. Doug's enormous responsibilities included keeping track of the team's finances, booking ice time, reserving hotels for road trips, assimilating the annual team program, and many other thankless and painstaking tasks.

Doug works for B & C Technical in Southfield. He is an avid golfer and helped establish the EMU Hockey Golf Outing fund-raiser in 1995. Doug is married to Kay, who served as the team's director of public relations.
