The interview not only spotlighted Doug’s personal achievements as an actor and entertainer but also emphasized the essential role that CDChoices has played in his journey.
In the interview, Doug expressed how the services offered by CDChoices have allowed him to take full control of his life, both personally and professionally. He discussed how their assistance has been instrumental in helping him achieve his goal of becoming an actor and entertainer—pursuits that many may have thought impossible for someone with a disability.

Doug’s story serves as a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when communities, organizations, and individuals come together to create inclusive opportunities.
