When an opportunity came up to move back to Dallas, he made the trip back to Texas and worked for a Dallas ad agency for a couple of years where he won several awards for radio and television commercials that he penned and produced. But then came a job offer in Boston to manage a multi-media production company for major meetings and conventions, and it was back to New England again. After a couple of winters of Yankee cold and snow, Doug decided there had to be a warmer place to live. He packed up the old Olds Cutlass and took a road trip to the West coast to call Los Angeles home.

Doug spent the next twenty years at Honeywell Aerospace (previously AlliedSignal) as a a senior contracts manager, negotiating complex aircraft component contracts with major aerospace companies in Korea, China, Holland and England. An opportunity came up in 2000 to take a similar role with the satellite manufacturing division of Boeing, where Doug toiled for sixteen years drafting contracts with various international customers.

During those years Doug got married, got divorced, remarried and raised three great children, a daughter who is an elementary school teacher, a son who is a medical technician and another son who is an aerospace data manager. After retiring from Boeing, Doug and his wife Winnie traveled around the country and decided that a nice place to settle down is Sugar Land, Texas, a suburb of Houston. This is where you will find him now, enjoying life and doing graphic design art work for posters and puzzles and t-shirts.
