Society Member, President, 26+ Years of Experience
Like many of his generation Doug first saw bonsai in the Karate Kid movies. He was inspired to try it for himself after a visit to Cape Cod Bonsai Nursery in the summer of 1999.
Membership in the Bonsai Society has afforded Doug the opportunity to participate in workshops with some of the best bonsai professionals from around the globe, however his main teachers have been Nick Lenz and Suthin Sukosolvisit. Since 2012 he’s been studying with Sensei Boon Manakativipart.
Doug’s collection consists of too many species to list, but his favorite is American Larch.
