Prior to co-founding CEG, Doug’s sports industry practice included representing as agent, advisor, attorney and/or marketing representative some of the biggest names in sports. He has also sourced and negotiated deals involving a broad spectrum of sports and entertainment companies. These opportunities have allowed Doug to form close relationships with many of the top personalities in the industry including first-round draft picks, Rookie of the Year candidates, MVP's, Hall of Famers, team owners and members of the media. Much of the success that he has achieved in the sports industry is a credit to his ability to rely on more than his pure business knowledge. His most notable and discernable asset is his particular understanding of the sports landscape along with the relationships he has built within it.
