Rear View Mirror Holdings Asset Management Consulting Services lexington property management After graduating Taft High School at the age of 17, Doug left his native Los Angeles. Eighteen years later, he returned—a changed person—to start his real estate career. What changed him? Years at UC Irvine, UC Davis, and the U.S. Air Force tell only part of the story. In those years, nine of which were spent living overseas, Doug gained the worldview that he credits for both his personal and professional success. He has lived in 10 states and four countries, earned USAF F-111 “Top Gun” honors, experienced life behind the Berlin Wall, attended graduate school, taught economics at the USAF Academy, and cofounded the Colorado Ski School for the Blind. While Doug credits his work ethic and attention to detail to his military service, he owes his real estate expertise to 10 years as EVP and COO of CNA Enterprises, with its $1 billion commercial portfolio. At CNA, Doug honed his asset management, finance, and leasing skills.

No two days are alike, and most importantly, being local keeps him close to his wife, children, and mother, who just celebrated her 92nd birthday!
it is the returns he has achieved on “value added” real estate investments and his creation of new industries to serve emerging needs that have turned heads. On the investment side, he has made an art form out of “turning sows’ ears into silk purses.” On the property management side, Doug and his wife, Denise, created both the “home management” and “fractional estate management” industries when they realized that everything they were doing to help take care of their parents’ properties was exactly what bi-coastal families, busy executives, and high-net-worth retirees need to properly care for their properties. 82
