Between 1993 and 1997, Doug spent his time in Brisbane, Australia pursuing animation and theatre sports.

However in 2002 Doug attained a job, producing the graphics for Flytv. When the show was looking for hosts, Doug suggested that his friends do it, and due to a belief by the producers that they were 'too old', they wore fly masks over their faces. During the show, the group were required to create many short sketches for it. All was going well, and with the success of their work, they were given funding to produce a short comedy series.

Unluckily, before much could get underway, Flytv was cancelled and the funding for the television series cut. But this was not to stop them.

Somehow, the show was nominated for an AFI award, and even more strangely, it won over tough competition. However, this did nothing for the crew, and nothing was made by them for quite some time. As nobody really knew who Doug was, he remained unemployed until 2006. In early 2006 the boys from The Chaser approached Doug and asked him to join them for their new show The Chaser's War on Everything, on which he would do all the graphics and titles. Doug accepted, and worked for them on all 28 episodes. With the launch of jtv, Doug was employed again and became responsible for producing graphics and sketches, similar to those on Flytv. Doug is also currently working on the second series of Double the Fist, which will begin filming in October 2006.
