Hi, I’m Doug. I spend my days turning data into decisions and my free time exploring back roads, trails, festivals, and just about anywhere with good coffee and interesting people. I believe spreadsheets can tell great stories, maps are underrated, and the best conversations often start with, “I found something interesting…” Whether it’s economic development, community building, or the outdoors, I’m always curious, always learning, and occasionally guilty of getting way too excited about a well-designed chart. If knowledge is power, I’m just here helping everyone find the light switch.
My blog is going to be roughly organized by the following categories:
- Explore — places, travel, outdoors
- Think — ideas, opinions, observations
- Discover — data, research, interesting facts
- Create — technology, AI, projects, photography
- Reflect — books, movies, shows, life lessons, personal stories
This may change over time, but this is how I initially see organizing my posts
