I have known Doug for some time now and am very surprised with the other individual's review (Concerning the reviewer's validity I would suggest reading their other reviews as well). In my time knowing Doug I have found him to be honest, reliable, knowledgeable and most importantly someone I would trust in regards to my financial decisions.
