The person behind the camera

A new chapter.
Still figuring it out.

I’m a Canadian living in Guadalajara, Mexico, with my wife Jill and our dog Zak. At 55, I’m building a new chapter, making videos, and finding adventures both close to home and further away.

Some days that means a cruise or exploring a new corner of Mexico. Other days it’s a useful fix, a product put to the test, or the funny side of life at home.

More about Doug

Before making videos, I spent eight years as a licensed Realtor in Edmonton and also became a PADI Open Water Instructor. Mexico has been home for around three years, with chapters in Cozumel, Playa del Carmen, and Mazatlán before our move to Guadalajara.

Now I’m creating full-time, sharing the experiences, useful tips, and everyday moments that make this chapter ours.
