Executive Director

email: director@landerartcenter.com

As a native of Lander, Doug is excited to be back home after 18 years of being away.  After graduating from the University of Wyoming Doug taught English/Communications in Charleston, SC before returning to Wyoming and taking a job teaching and coaching in Natrona County.  He went on to earn a MA of Theology/Philosophy that would lead him to the University of Arkansas where he was a Liaison between the University of Arkansas and St. Thomas Aquinas University Parish.  After 3 years in Fayetteville, he moved back to Laramie to become a Principal and English teacher within the Albany County School District.  Last year Doug returned to Lander to expand his photography and graphic design business.  When he found that the Art Center was looking for an Executive Director, he couldn't think of a better way to help give back to the community that helped make him who he is today.  Through it all Doug has experienced many leadership roles and is excited to use his gifts and talents serving the community of Fremont County and Wyoming, and helping artists to grow, develop, and inspire the world around them.

In his free time, Doug enjoys everything outdoors. He can often be found with his camera in tow, documenting the beauty of his home town, state, and everything else he encounters in this beautiful world.  Doug is a true connoisseur of the beauty that life has to ofter and whole heartedly embraces the healing power of all art.
