Doug's love for the game started 36 years ago in 1989 at Morehead State University playing intermural. After being spotted by the college's women's head volleyball coach Jim McClellan, Doug was asked to join the start of the college's men's club volleyball program. Doug played 3 years on the club team as a middle hitter. He continued playing both indoor and sand after college. He has high school coaching experience at Moeller High School, and with girls and boys teams in Richmond, IN, where they finished 3rd in the Indiana boys state finals. In 2013, he started Cincy Crush where he remained a director until his transition to Arsenal this year. He's had the pleasure of coaching many successful teams and is most proud of his last group that he had since they were 14. They finished their 17s ranked 309 in the nation and recently ended their club journey at 18s. Doug is excited to continue his love for training here at Arsenal, and we're excited to have his expertise!
