Doug Myers was born in California, raised in Oregon, and in Southern California and Washington State served professionally as a licensed counseling therapist with agencies and in private practice settings. Doug completed graduate studies in Southern California where he earned a master's degree in theology and a doctorate degree in counseling psychology. In Southern California he worked in a holistic care setting as a counseling therapist for the Beverly Hills Doctors Hospital. While working in the Seattle area he received additional post-graduate training with the Institute for Bio-Energetic analysis of New York. Doug served as Director of Family Court while working with divorcing couples and families, and consultant to the Court of Domestic Relations in Washington State.

Doug later became joint owner of a rustic fish camp located on a remote river in Southwest Alaska. His adventures were shared with Native friends at their historic village site in the Bristol Bay Region. Visits to Bristol Bay and other distant areas of the Bering Sea, Alaska Peninsula, and Kodiak island offered cultural insights, fascinating sport fishing experiences, and close encounters with some of Alaska's renowned brown bear.

As an Alaskan author Myers' goal is to share Alaska's intrigue, including its scenic treasure, Native culture, and wildlife adventure. His counseling and communications background encourages a sensitive narrative style of meaningful wilderness journeys leading to soulful discoveries. Myers' passions also include photography and illustrative art, which are incorporated in his writings and publications.

Recent writings include a rhythmic poetic style that is thematic in content, e.g., Character, Family, Lifestyle, Love, and Nature.
