Doug and Jennifer met back at Dallas Baptist University in 1986, married the following year, and began their family the next. 

Meanwhile, Doug went to medical school, completed an anesthesia residency, served as president of a large private-practice group, helped start a home church, survived two tours of duty with the Army Reserves, and he drew upon all those experiences when he wrote his first medical thriller, entitled The Prodigy Project.

He currently serves as Chief of Staff at one of the largest Level 1 Trauma Centers in the region and spends his spare time reading, writing, and investing in his family. His latest book, 25 Ways to Show Love to Your Wife, contains tried and true tips for building a happy marriage.
