Douglas brings deep expertise from the technology sector, where he built a successful IT consulting business serving property management firms and attorneys both locally and nationwide. He has hands-on experience with key industry platforms, including TOPS [ONE] (Enumerate), Yardi, Control, AppFolio, and TownSq, among others, and has a strong grasp of the operational realities within the HOA industry.

In 2016, Douglas began consulting with Laura Sherwood and the Sacramento-based team at The HOA Warriors. So when the opportunity to acquire its assets presented itself in 2021, he jumped at the chance to carry their mission forward.

Drawing on his paralegal background and state licensure as a Community Association Manager, Douglas has represented clients in non-attorney roles across a range of venues, including workers’ compensation, CalEDD, CalCRD (formerly DFEH), and HOA IDR hearings. His advocacy extends beyond conflict resolution—he collaborates directly with HOA Directors and Community Association Managers to improve processes, policies, and procedures, ensuring homeowner rights are upheld while balancing the complex responsibilities of boards and management.

As an experienced HOA member and Director himself, Douglas has successfully navigated litigation, securing multiple judgments in his favor that reflect his integrity and strict adherence to federal, state, and local laws.

As Laura used to say, “When life gives you lemons, make limoncello.” Douglas couldn’t agree more.
