Doug has been a part of PRN since 1988 starting out as the Affiliates Manager.

His broadcasting career started at WSTP/WRDX in Salisbury, N.C., where he served as the Program Director, morning show host and sports play-by-play announcer. During his time in Salisbury, Doug received the UPI National Broadcast Award for Outstanding Sports Coverage in 1982. Doug's sportscasting career has included doing play by play of college football and basketball.

Doug's hobbies include science fiction, golf (not that good) and he's a history nut especially the Civil War.

"My biggest thrill ever in broadcasting was getting to make the final call on Adam Petty's win in an ARCA race at Charlotte. Growing up a Petty fan in North Carolina it was really a special treat to see them all celebrating in victory lane. It was a day I'll never forget. I don?t have favorite driver anymore but I'm always hoping that the race will have drama and that our broadcast is able to capture that excitement."
