"No matter where you go, there you are," a quote Douglas embraces as he explores the world on foot. He finds joy in walking, sometimes for miles and especially in places he has never been. Living an active lifestyle works up quite an appetite, which for Douglas usually results in grabbing a hot slice of pizza. His favorite film is Unforgiven, an award-winning presentation starring Clint Eastwood. In the remainder of his free time, he enjoys drawing, delving into history, or heading outside to read a good book.
