Douglas has been involved with fostering for most of his life. His parents fostered over 20 children and he has seen firsthand the importance fostering can play in the lives of both foster children and foster families. That early experience inspired him to devote the last 25 years of his career to working with People Places. After graduating from James Madison University, Douglas joined People Places in 1996 as a youth mentor and became a family consultant in 1999. He has been in leadership positions at People Places since becoming a supervisor in 2015. In his current role, he is responsible for providing oversight of agency case management activities for youth placed in the Therapeutic Foster Care Program.
