Doug W.

A student of the mind, Doug not only studied psychology at Syracuse University and radio broadcasting at the Art Institute, but learned through his life-long battle with treatment-resistant depression. His dark journey has taken him from many rounds of electro-convulsive therapy, to brain surgery with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS).

A cancer survivor and talented guitarist, Doug has used music as therapy and has taught guitar to people of all ages. He currently resides in Toronto, Canada, and continues his daily struggle with depression.

Graduating from Syracuse University in 1992 with a degree in communications (and a minor in psychology), he worked as a Video Editor, Computer Animator, Software Engineer, and is now a User Experience and Graphic Designer. He currently resides in Loveland, Colorado with his wife and two cats, where he spends his free time playing and working on guitars.
