The eldest of seven children, his mother was a school teacher and his father a tradesman and guitar teacher, Doug was encouraged to exercise his creativity becoming involved in amateur drama in junior high school. In university he pursued the study of martial arts and fencing more than his engineering classes and soon left to join the Canadian Armed Forces where he became an Air Force Officer.

Upon leaving the military he returned to the University of Saskatchewan where he enrolled in the College of Arts majoring in Cultural Anthropology. After three years of study he joined the local police department, where he was given the opportunity to apply his anthropological knowledge and hone his acting, improvisational, and disguise skills in the toughest of forums, undercover police work. Gravitating towards the villain roles he has appeared in numerous police re-enactments portraying a variety of roles from rapists to safe-crackers.

An experienced horseman Doug has appeared on the Real West TV Series and continues to be involved in local theatre, both amateur and professional.

In 2010 he formed Wuhn-Man Productions and has been heavily involved in two Web-TV Series projects, Humanity's Heirs and Doctor Eh!
