Doug plays guitar in a band called “Pontoons” and also occasionally plays with co-workers at Clark Nuber. If a career as an accountant and lawyer at Clark Nuber doesn’t work out, Doug can always fall back on his musical career.
This is highly unlikely though, as Doug, a shareholder, brings incredible depth to tax planning and consulting and has a rare combination of insightful, creative and practical business prowess. Doug works on tax planning for partnerships, corporations and individuals. We’re big fans of Doug the accountant/lawyer and Doug the rock star.
