Hi I'm Doug
I'm a husband. I'm a father. I'm a physician. I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I am a father of six boys, including triplets. Our boys keep my wife and me busy with school and church activities. In my free time I am a cyclist and a runner. I am also a Radiation Oncologist (a doctor who treats cancer patients with radiation).
Why I am a Mormon
I was raised in a Mormon family. As I have matured through the years I have gained a greater appreciation of the teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. In todays world, I am so grateful to have a strong spiritual foundation. Having strong values that don't change with every latest fad has been such a great help in my life and in raisng our sons. When I say that I know that this church is Christ's organization on earth, it may sound presumptuous, but I cannot deny it.
How I live my faith
I currently am serving as the Bishop of my ward. A ward is a congregation and the Bishop serves as the "Paster". Our ward has just over 500 members. All those who serve in leadership in our wards do not get paid. I also serve as a Home Teacher. I visit several families each month and look after their needs. Other Home Teachers of my ward help me, as Bishop look after all the members in the ward.
