Doug has a background in agriculture, and as a youngster did five seasons in the cadet scheme in the Dairy Industry.  After travelling he returned and worked as a fencing contractor, then spent considerable time in the bread industry as an owner/driver, he then owned a timber processing business.  Just prior to entering Real Estate, Doug returned to farming as an assistant farm manager on a Dairy Support unit at Lower Moutere.

Doug and his partner live on a lifestyle block in the Nelson hinterland where they enjoy the great Tasman lifestyle whether it be hunting, fishing or tennis.  Doug’s partner Fiona is also employed in the Agriculture Industry as a Rural Manager for FMG Insurance.

Doug and Fiona have two kids that they act as taxi drivers for ferrying them to their many sporting activities.  

Doug will be working alongside Peter Evans in growing our real estate presence in the Nelson and Golden Bay region.
