Read on to learn what Doug enjoys most about his work…
What do you enjoy most about your work?
I truly enjoy meeting and helping people. I could spend the entire day talking to our members and learning more about them. People come to us with goals in mind and the desire to make a change in their lives and we have the tools to make that happen for them. The Health and Wellness environment provides a great opportunity to have a very positive effect on people.
What has been your favorite / most successful initiative at Fitness Plus?
In 2017, I was offered the opportunity to expand my role and provide managerial oversight of our second Health and Wellness Center in Dexter MO. This has been a challenge and a great experience. I am proud to say the Dexter facility has been very successful heading into the 3rd full year of operation.
What do you do outside of work?
My wife, Maile and I have two children; Garrett, 15 and Payton, 13. We stay very busy with sports and a variety of extracurricular activities. We love the outdoors and enjoy hunting, camping and fishing for rainbow trout. I have become a huge proponent of exercise and enjoy running and staying active.
Thank you, Doug!
