ATC
Doug is a Certified Athletic Trainer at Integrated Rehabilitation Services and Stafford High School. He had been a baseball player his whole life, playing 4 years of high school baseball, one year of college baseball, before playing in CT Twilight leagues until shoulder and knee injuries prevented him from continuing. While recovering from surgeries needed for those injuries, he developed an interest in helping other individuals avoid and recover from injury, which led him to become an athletic trainer. Doug was certified as an athletic trainer in 2016 and had previously worked with high school athletes in Waterbury, CT for 3 years before working in a physician’s office as a physician extender. After a year at the physician’s office, Doug found he missed being around athletes, which is when he joined the IRS team to help young athletes stay healthy and excel. While no longer participating in any sports, Doug is active at the gym while being a hockey and baseball fan.
