Lead-driven approach to building more clients for marina management & boat storage facilities.
Doug leads the agency with strategic insight.
Doug grew up on Powers Lake, a small lake in Wisconsin, where boating wasn’t just a hobby—it was a way of life. He got his boater’s license at 12, and spent his summers fishing, water skiing, and cruising around the lake with family and friends.
With over 8 years of experience in marketing and finance, Doug has led large-scale consulting projects and private deals across a wide range of industries. He’s helped grow reputable brands and saved companies money through smart pricing strategies.
In 2025, Doug launched DS Collective—a modern agency designed to bring real business results to marina owners and boat storage facilities. Today, he leads a handpicked team of expert designers, developers, and marketers, offering clients agency-level talent with startup-level speed, service, and transparency.
"Doug designed our website and ran our marketing to the point of automation, we have made most of our sales from his tactics"
"DS Collective's website they built for us made it so easy to collect leads that funnel straight into our CRM. Highly recommend!"
