Although he holds a B.A. in Business and Economics, Doug has been involved in many professions over the years including being an expedition leader, a senior field guide, cinematographer, filmmaker, aerial rigger, snowboard mountaineer, and climber.

Doug's passion for climbing and the outdoors has taken him to over 30 different countries to date. His travels include Europe, North and South America, Australasia, and Russia. In the most recent years he made several expeditions in the antarctic region. In 2000 he reached the Geographic South Pole on skis as the lead guide of a four-man team. Now he is joining the Pole Track team heading for the North Pole and is bringing with him a wide range of experiences and competencies that are necessary to make this expedition a success.

"Any opportunity to explore the polar region is a worthwhile endeavor. When such an adventure is combined with beneficial research for the planet then I have no choice but to participate." Doug's experience with state-of-the-art internet technology and cinematography will be very helpful in sharing this expedition with the international audience.
