Doug's love of canoeing began when he was a camper and counselor in the early 1970s.  Following a 51-day canoe trip to Hudson Bay, in 1979, he went on a 68-day Alaska canoe expedition through the Brooks Range.  He spent 1981 to 1982 living off the grid with the Ojibway First Nations people of the Winisk River in Northern Ontario.

Doug’s love of canoeing led him to marathon canoe racing and custom-building composite competition canoes. He built over 1600 canoes over 24 years. This self-taught skill carried him on to 17 years of developmental research programs in Aerospace and Defense Contracting. All borne out of the desire to create the best canoes possible.

The canoe began as a simple craft of exploration of self and wilderness and has continued to guide him to new endeavors.
