Before becoming Vice President at Chicago Gaming Company (CGC), Doug was Vice President of Business Development, in which role he spearheaded the company’s drive into remaking classic Williams/Bally pinball machines starting with Medieval Madness and continuing with Attack from Mars. The third title – widely rumoured to be Monster Bash – appears to have run into difficulties and missed the scheduled unveiling at the Texas Pinball Festival in March 2018. At the time of Doug’s departure there had still been no official announcement.
Doug’s new role at Stern Pinball is to look after the day-to-day export business, taking over some of the duties previously handled by company CEO Gary Stern.

Here’s how Stern Pinball announced Doug’s appointment.
