The family later moved back to Idaho where Doug graduated from Fruitland High School.

They moved to California with their young daughter and welcomed a son. While living in California Doug and Pat built a successful Law Practice. After the death of Doug's Dad the decision was made to move back to Idaho.
While in Idaho Doug and Pat expanded their family to include three more children. Doug returned to his career in Pharmacy where over the next thirty years he owned and operated several different drug stores in the Northwest. Doug later partnered with three of his children to build and develop the Internet Truckstop, D&S Factors and M&D Farms.
