Background Information
Doug McKenzie is a Canadian military veteran looking to find his place in civilian life. After spending years as a vehicle technician with the CAF, Doug is feeling restless. When he was a young lad, Doug worked in a hardware store as a bagel baker. He loved the smell of those bagels every morning, working in Bucks Building & Bagels left Doug feeling fulfilled each day. Bucks went out of business after it was found that Buck and Doug were stealing neighborhood cats and reselling them to the owners. The towns people were furious with Buck & Doug after finding out they've just been rebuying their own cats; chasing them out of town with 2x4's and pitchforks, Doug and Buck knew they had to move on.

Physical Appearance
Doug is 6'0" and 212lbs. He has a bit of a beer gut after years of cracking a few Pißwasser each night after work. Doug can always be found wearing his black beanie and sunglasses. He has a beard that he lets go wild after spending years grooming himself due to strict military standards. Sometimes he'll shave to stubble for business meetings.

Lately Doug has been sporting brown leather jacket he found at a second hand store, his favorite plaid shirt and some stained black pants.

Vehicles
Granger - DOHC V8 engine, 5-speed transmission, AWD layout. Loud sounding engine. Top speed 115 MPH. Doug's countless hours in the Markets have paid off. He was able to buy himself a much nicer vehicle to travel around the state. Though much faster than his Burrito, Doug still drives very carefully in his new Granger, even when off-roading.

Burrito 2nd Generation - Single-cam Inline-4 engine, 5-speed Transmission in a front engine, rear wheel drive layout. Its engine sound is low-revving and smooth. Top speed 99 MPH. Doug's Burrito was his daily driver and company delivery van. Doug and his green drab Burrito could be found meandering up and down the Great Ocean Hwy between Dean World & Andi Jones Farmers Market regularly.

Flatbed - Powerful V24 Engine built for high torque output, 6-speed Transmission in a front engine, AWD layout. Powerful sounding engine. Top speed 85 MPH. Doug doesn't frequently drive his flatbed, usually opting to rent it out to 'down-bad' tow truck drivers. Recently Doug's flatbed has been returned in awful condition, making Doug regret renting his truck out at all.

Friends

 * Charles Horse: Doug met Charles outside of the Court House one day when renewing his licenses and finalizing his Expungement. They got talking in the outside parking lot about potential business opportunities regarding deliveries and security. They quickly formed a connection as they both were very goal-oriented and communicated well together.
 * Kimberly Daniels: Doug met Kim at the Farmers Market in Paleto. Though they don't spend much time together outside off the markets they're always very interested in how each other are doing. Doug offered Kim a sales job, which she did for a time before moving on to activities more in line with her goals and interests.
 * Walter Melon: Doug met Walter at Deans World on the pier while working the Horsepower Energy stall. Walter and Doug quickly formed a friendship while working and out in the wilds hunting and off-roading. Doug also offered Walter a sales position before Walter moved on to selling marijuana with one of the large dispensaries.


 * Ezreal 'EZ' Kay-Hoss: Doug met Ez at the Paleto Farmers Market while working the stall. They don't spend too much time together but Doug considers Ez a friend none the less. Ezreal works with Doug as a part of the Sales team.

Poaching & Prison Time
Doug likes to spend his early mornings out in his now least favorite hunting spot. While there he placed a bait, knowing full well the rules against hunting protected animals. A mountain lion meandered over to Doug's bait. He waited for it to leave and shot around the beast but it refused to leave. Not knowing what other course of action he should take paired with a healthy love for Lord of the Rings, Doug started to think about Bilbo, 'why shouldn't I keep it'. With little more thought, Doug shot the creature and skinned it to collect on his patience. After placing down a few more baits, Doug was had finally placed his last. While browsing Twatter, Doug didn't realize he was being scoped out by Rangers Ellis Pinzon and Tessa Lamb. As soon as the pulled up in their white and green cruiser Doug knew he was in hot water. While being booked Ranger Pinzon pointed out the kittens could be heard meowing nearby, fueling Doug's immense shame for killing the mother mountain lion. Doug spent only a short 18 months in prison, but it was enough to make him never want to go back. He was forced into playing 'games' and was hassled by the inmates that were there in Bolingbroke Penitentiary for life.

Following Doug's freedom things started to look up again. Doug immediately hired a lawyer and began the process for an expungement, he couldn't have a poaching charge on his record with his dream of becoming a Park Ranger. He seeked out guidance from Deputy Dulio, joining the San Andreas Scouts and doing community service. For a full day Doug spent his time picking up an extraordinary amount of dog feces in Mirror park with Deputy Dulio and observing what appeared to be 'shit sculptures'. Doug was commended for uncovering a potential 'serial shit sculptor' in Mirror Park. After Mirror Park was cleaned up Doug followed Deputy Dulio to Paleto Pets where they met Babalu Okonkwo. There Doug picked up more feces but this time from 3 large black panthers. He told Babalu Okonkwo to call him if he ever wanted more help with the animals, as Doug felt a sense of fulfilment when he was finished his work.

After proving himself, Doug earned his San Andreas Scouts Certificate and a potential reference of good character from Deputy Dulio, re-igniting the spark Doug feared might have been lost in his pursuit to be a San Andreas State Park Ranger.
