FROM THE PUBLISHER "Make your dream and others' dreams come true," says this month's builder, Douglas A. King. "The more you give, the more you get." Doug learned early in life "the key to success is to listen." "Figure out what people want and always treat them how you want to be treated," he adds. His advice to students: It's hard to say you don't want to do something until you do it. It's hard to say what you really like until you experience it. "The more you can experience and visualize, the more you Betty Moore PUBLISHER (781) 925-1636 T bamagma@aol.com 36 Prospect Ave. Hull, MA 02045 are prepared for the opportunity to do what you like best," he says. "Work harder, work smarter, work longer, get a job you like, and find what stimulates you!" Doug's list of charitable gifts takes up an entire page. On the long list of charitable organizations is the Children's Hospital Boston. Doug, his family, friends and employees were acknowledged for their extraordinary support of the Children's Hospital campaign. His service and participation in the most ambitious capital drive in the history of Children's Hospital Boston helped forge a brighter future for thousands of children who depend upon Children's Hospital Boston for its very special care. His awards and achievements take up another full page. I am very fortunate to feature Douglas A. King Builders for the fifth time. Doug is always so positive and enthusiastic. I love to be with him. He is hands on. He loves to do the sales aspect of the business and doesn't believe there's a better salesperson than the person who developed and built the properties himself. On the day of the photo shoot, Doug stayed with us. When we weren't shooting, he was on his phone doing business, selling a house and making sure we were taken care of. As usual, he even took time to go buy our lunch. That's Doug! What fun I had meeting the homeowners for whom he has built and compiling the most positive statements about how great a builder and person he is. You can read the story and some of the quotes ahead. It was also a great joy to see Builder+Architect reprints being used as his sales tool. It's been a pleasure to feature Doug during the past 20 years. I've never met anyone who truly enjoys what he does as much as him. Douglas A. King Builders, Inc. takes pride in being a team of exacting professionals committed to excellence in custom design and construction. It is a company that cares. I love this quote Doug says: "Life's a marathon, not a sprint."
