Doug worked at Quantum Spatial for 12 years as a Senior Airborne Sensor Systems Operator. He loved his family and enjoyed camping at his seasonal site at Plymouth Rock Campground, walking, working out and going to the races at Road America. He enjoyed taking trips with his wife, especially to Key West. It was a place they dreamed of retiring to one day. He loved having his sons over for cook outs and family time. He traveled quite a bit for work, to almost all of the states, and enjoyed working with his flight crew. Doug was a red wine enthusiast and even made a few of his own at one point.
