Doug Morrison aka D.MoSon is a Christian, husband, father of five, and lifelong advocate for service and leadership. With a dynamic background spanning military service, hospitality management, and publishing, Doug brings heart, humor, and hard-won wisdom to every chapter of his life.

He began his journey in the U.S. Army as a Behavioral Health Specialist, where he developed a deep understanding of human behavior and earned a B.S. in Psychology. His commitment to community continued as a School Resource and Juvenile Officer in Missouri, before transitioning into the hospitality world, where he’s spent over two decades leading operations for brands like Hilton, IHG, and now Wings & Rings in Cincinnati.

A Certified Food & Beverage Executive (CFBE), certified sommelier, and cicerone, Doug pairs his passion for great food and drink with a knack for elevating team performance. He’s been featured on blogs, podcasts, and television, and is the author of several books that blend hospitality insights with personal growth strategies.
Doug is also deeply committed to fatherhood, serving as a leader in the “WatchDOGS” program to encourage positive male role models in schools. When he’s not writing, coaching, or working, you’ll find him running, cheering on his kids, or hanging with his wife Stephanie—and their unforgettable pets: an ugly pug named Keia , an English Retriever named Paisley, two cats named Oreo & Muffin and a bearded dragon named Blingo.

Through every endeavor, Doug’s mission is simple: help others grow, lead with purpose, and live with passion.
