He grew up in New Jersey, enrolled in Princeton University and first came to Westerly Road Church during his freshman year. He and his wife, Laura, have four adult children and five grandchildren. In his medical career, Doug was an emergency physician and then gradually moved into hospital administration.

His historical ties to Stone Hill and the residence of his daughter Anna here in Princeton made this particular calling seem just the right fit.
