“My hobbies, well to know me is to know I enjoy my wife and<br />

children on our small ranch in Shingle Springs. Spring-time is<br />

wonderful: the chickens are laying, the goats are having their kids<br />

and the fields are green. This is my favorite time of year.” Being<br />

an advocate for youth programs, Doug has been active with<br />

coaching soccer and little league, and mentoring 4-H kids with<br />

livestock raising for the El Dorado County Fair.<br />
