About Me:
 
Doug has worked as a registered architect in the building industry specializing in high-end residential architecture. He's also been published in a variety of professional journals and magazines. He just finished a book called 'How to Architect' that will be published in 2012 with MIT Press. He has worked on projects that have received American Institute of Architects (AIA) and Builders Awards in residential architecture. Doug has architecture degrees from Pennsylvania State University and a Masters degree in architecture from the University of Pennsylvania. He's also taught at the Pennsylvania State University and Northampton Community College.

In addition to his architectural training, Doug is Co-Founder of RootPhi, LLC a product development company. With partner Brian Witlin, Doug created and spun out two businesses including Golaces, llc, which was acquired by a publicly held footwear company, and Reclaim, llc which licensed technology to San Francisco based soft goods company Timbuk2. He is also an accomplished artist and painter who has sold his artist prints throughout the country. Doug's experience in architecture and his enthusiasm for product development have given birth to a number of successful business and product ventures.

A little bit about the How to Architect content... Doug leans heavily on what he learned, liked and remembers from his art history, architectural history and Studio courses in college for video content. He also refreshes his memory at Wikipedia and his ample volume of college notes. Doug uses flickr & Wikipedia for many of the images you see in his videos because of the rights availability through an 'Attribution Creative Commons License'. Doug encourages you to visit Wikipedia, the websites he mentions or simply Google the topics he covers for more in-depth information - as 2 minute videos could never embrace a subject properly. Lastly, Doug would like to thank the people that make the images he uses available, without which these videos would be much more difficult to produce.

Doug enjoys teaching, writing, racing his kids on his BMX bike, juggling, falling off his unicycle, breakdancing at weddings, architecture and making videos.
