Doug is a powerhouse in the beverage industry and a champion of hemp beverages. He was instrumental in helping launch the Hemp Beverage Alliance, served on its first advisory board, and continues to help grow the association and the category as a whole. Great to work with, connected to everyone, knows how to make things happen.
I have the pleasure of working with Doug as he is assisting one of my clients in developing a hemp-derived Delta-9 brand. Doug’s expertise and strategic guidance have been instrumental in getting the brand off the ground. He not only provided invaluable advice but also leveraged his network to connect my clients with essential collaborators. Doug's professionalism is matched by his kindness, patience, and genuine eagerness to share his knowledge. He is a true asset to anyone looking to navigate the complexities of the cannabis beverage industry. I highly recommend Doug to anyone seeking a reliable and insightful partner in this space.
I highly recommend Doug. He has a deep knowledge of developing a hemp beverage and providing practical feedback. I read Doug’s book Grow, which is about starting a cannabis beverage, and started working with him during the formulation of my beverage Vitam. Having worked with Doug I can say he expedited the process of developing my beverage while helping me avoid common mistakes.
Doug has a deep network of professionals he can introduce you to. This was incredibly helpful as it can be difficult finding the right people to work with. On more than one occasion I would ask Doug for a recommendation and he would always have someone in mind and this saved me time.
I really enjoyed Doug’s conversational approach during meetings. I feel comfortable talking to him about anything and he has a way of asking questions, providing feedback and guidance, and talking your way to a solution.
Additionally, Doug is a good person and that makes working with him all the better. When you have a win, Doug gets excited for you and you can tell he is happy for you. I have always felt Doug wants to see me succeed, not only because I am a client, but because he understands my vision and wants to help me fulfill it.
As a client of Doug’s I fully recommend his services. So much so I would be happy if people reached out to me directly so I can tell them about my experience working with Doug. Doug is someone you want in your corner.
