Originally from New Jersey, Doug attended James Madison University and moved to Richmond right after college. Chesterfield County has been the only district he has taught full time; starting in 2012 at Matoaca Middle and working at Thomas Dale, Bailey Bridge and Falling Creek before coming to CCPSOnline. Although he is often labeled “the data guy”, he believes, “We should always have a lens focused on student success. We are here first and foremost for students!”
