About Doug

My family and I are so excited to begin this journey as your next Senator for Kansas' 37th senate district. I spent my formative high school years in the senate district at Louisburg High School and moved back to Louisburg after completing my college career. My wife and I are both proud K-State Alumni, where I obtained my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine and a PhD. My wife and our four children proudly call Louisburg home.

I am currently a teaching professor supporting learners in graduate degree programs related to animal health, human health, and life sciences. Before becoming an educator, I worked in research and development in the animal health industry where I helped develop new veterinary medicines and technologies for food producing species and pets. I am still actively involved in the animal health industry and am a partner in a small animal health company.

I have always been motivated to aim for the stars and help to make a brighter future. This is why I became a veterinarian and a professor. This why you elected me as your Kansas Senator for the 37th Senate District - to help make things better in Kansas.
