Doug has been attending anime conventions for over a decade and been a fan of anime for even longer. He can often be found sitting on a panel or two at many of the conventions he attends, often talking about the mecha genre. Despite this, he still makes time to see as much as possible, tracking down assorted DVDs and manga in a dealers' room, watching AMVs, and practicing his buddy interest in photography. Since joining the AnimeCons TV crew in 2009, Doug has been one of the podcast's chief interviewers, talking to many different people in fandom, eager to engage in chats about what people like about the convention culture. When not at a con, Doug can often be found attending college hockey games, seeking out craft beers, or just causing general mischief in and around Boston.
