Since meeting Jesus at age 14, Doug's pursuit is to simply follow Jesus and engage others to join him in the journey. His 50+ year adventure with Jesus opened opportunities as pastor, church planter, TV show host, Little League coach, real estate businessman, even Cinderella’s coachman & Captain Hook’s first mate.

In 2014, Jesus compelled Doug to launch and lead Jesus College (JesusCollege.com) to help the world learn from the greatest teacher in history how to actually become the kind of people who do what He taught. Thousands of Jesus apprentices from 61 countries have engaged Jesus College courses, resources, and gatherings - both virtual and in-person.

Doug’s heart for the family prompted him to write Dear Dad, If I Could Tell You Anything and co-author with his wife Robin, Dear Mom, If I Could Tell You Anything, (Thomas Nelson.) Doug has proclaimed the gospel of the Kingdom of God through local churches and at large with HomeWord, Promise Keepers, the National Center for Fathering, and Youth Specialties. His tutelage under Jesus includes degrees from Vanguard University and Fuller Seminary while knowing he has so much more to learn about following Jesus into his Kingdom.

Doug and Robin live in Robinson, Texas. Their 43 years of marriage has been blessed by three amazing, adult kids, two precious in-law kids and ten “perfect” grandkids, with an 11th coming soon!
