Doug Newman's dedication to his work is evident in his 11 years of service as a satellite communications operator/maintainer in the US Army. He was medically discharged as a Staff Sergeant, having served in Germany, Ft. Gordon, GA (as an instructor), and Korea. His commitment continued after his discharge, as he worked on various Army contracts, deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan as an instructor and field service representative.

Doug Newman's journey has been marked by adaptability and resilience. After being laid off, he found his way to Northern Virginia, where he met his wife, Andrea. They adopted their daughter in April 2015 and moved to Chesapeake, Virginia, in 2022, where Doug has embraced a new role in the Civil Service.

Mr. Newman has proudly served this great nation for over 20 years as a federal employee and a contractor.

When he's not working, Mr. Newman enjoys cooking, reading, listening to audiobooks, and volunteering, demonstrating his diverse interests and commitment to giving back to the community.
