Doug was born in Elkhart and raised in the Elkhart/South Bend area. He was proud to enlist in the United States Air Force in 1969, right out of high school. While serving, Doug was stationed in Ramstein, Germany and served as law enforcement and security. He would often go with various Air Force planes and serve an important role safeguarding the aircraft while on the ground.

Doug is also a member of the American Legion Riders. This local group of motorcycle enthusiasts participates in an annual fundraiser to collect donations for area families of those who have lost someone in the line of duty. Doug says that the Good Lord’s been good to him so it’s the least he can do to return the favor.

Notre Dame FCU is proud to be member-owned by individuals like Doug.
