Doug has been with SDCC for about 3 years! Doug is married to a lovely lady named Marsi (for 28 years 🙌). He has 2 kids Ben and Hayley and just became a grandfather to his granddaughter Mia (named after USA soccer legend Mia Hamm).

Doug is currently the Sports Information Director for the Hawks. “I came here after seeing an opportunity to take what I had learned in my career and apply it to collegiate sports. SDCC seemed like a perfect fit and It was!”

We asked Doug what his favorite part about his job was and he said, “The best thing about my job is getting to meet and develop relationships with all of the incredible student-athletes, coaches and staff here at SDCC. As a fan of pretty much every sport, my job is the best! I not only get to know these athletes, but get to watch them compete at the collegiate level as well!”

The SID position has so many different aspects to it, marketing, journalism, graphic design, game/event management, stat reporting, and so much more. It is truly never boring. Right now, Doug has several of our great student-athletes helping me out as interns, working in the areas they are interested in most. “Getting to help mentor the next generation of sports marketing and sports business executives is truly a blessing.”

To know Doug it to love him, show him some appreciation in the comments!!
