Doug was born in Bridgeport, CT.  He attended the University of Pennsylvania and graduated in 2001 with honors receiving a degree in neuroscience and psychology.  He planned to become a medical doctor but in his senior year of college he was diagnosed with brain cancer. His doctors gave him 3-5 years to live but Doug fought the cancer for 24 years, undergoing surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.  He maintained a positive attitude and approach to life and enjoyed his cat named Jelly, played video games for hours at a time, loved sports especially the Red Sox and Celtics and had a lifelong interest in politics.
