He graduated from Cozad High School and attended Midwestern School of Evangelism in Ottumwa, Iowa, where he married Kristin McDowell October 15, 1971. Doug and Kristin lived in Ottumwa, then moved to Colorado Springs in May 1972 for one year. They moved back to Albia, IA where their three children were born. They moved to Lexington, where Doug worked several jobs – he was head of Lexington Public Schools Building and Grounds for many years. After two years in Gothenburg, they moved to Grand Island where he worked for Grand Island Public Schools until his retirement.
