I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Doug as an adjunct faculty member of Frederick Community College (FCC), Emergency Management (EM) Program. In his FCC Faculty Staff position as the administrator of the Internship Program, Doug is the consummate professional . He is very conscientious, an excellent speaker, and knowledgeable EM program director. There is no doubt that his ongoing efforts will help continue to improve the overall quality of the FCC Emergency Management curriculum.

Doug is a passionate and versatile individual with strong leadership skills and solid work ethic. He brings a high degree of subject matter knowledge and experience to any effort and continually seeks additional opportunities to learn and grow. As a Project Director/Manager he was very successful at meeting difficult demands in a fluctuating environment. Doug’s positive attitude and calm demeanor distinguished him, especially during frenzied periods. His contributions were both innovative and well received by his clients, and he was well respected by his colleagues.
