"Doug was a 25 year old 2nd year law student, who graduated at the top of his undergraduate class at Arizona State University in Finance. He was not the most gifted athlete, but he had such determination that he walked on as a chubby freshman and worked to get a place on the Varsity team - a loose head prop for those of you that know the game. He was also the treasurer of the Rugby club for 3 years.

Doug was passionate about seeing the club succeed and helped turn the team into a legitimate college program that demanded respect. Doug was also an overachiever in college and he spent many hours working with his fellow players on the Rugby team to improve their GPA's and show them they actually could do well in college if they applied themselves.

In memory of Doug, a Rugby Scholarship Fund has been established at ASU. The fund will award scholarships to an exceptional rugby player that maintains a GPA of 3.0 or better. When the fund reaches $25,000 it will starting paying the scholarships. Our goal is to raise enough funds this summer so that next semester someone that knew Doug would be the first player to receive the first scholarship."

The ASU Foundation is a 503(c) organization.
