Under his leadership, BrandStar produced more than 6,000 nationally syndicated TV episodes across networks including Lifetime, Bloomberg, and Fox Business, while creating enduring series such as The Balancing Act, one of the longest-running shows on the Lifetime network, along with Military Makeover with Montel Williams, Access Health, and Inside the Blueprint. Doug also spearheaded the launch of BrandStar Local, a first-of-its-kind platform that expanded national TV programming into the Top 20 U.S. markets through custom local versions, generating millions in incremental revenue.

An avid golfer and loyal Florida Panthers fan, Doug also gives back through the community initiatives he helped start, including co-founding BrandStar Cares, which has supported more than 15 nonprofits. Today, he continues that commitment by serving on boards such as the Winterfest Boat Parade and Gateway Community Outreach, supporting organizations like Habitat for Humanity, and mentoring students at Florida Atlantic University, where he helped launch a student-run production studio.
