About me - Doug Stephens
About me
I am a partner in a Houston-wide full service vending company. Formerly I was restaurant general manager and a reporter at a small-town newspaper in Kansas. In 2003 I received an honorable mention for business news reporting by the Kansas Press Association, and third place for sports feature writing.
Politically, I am a former die-hard Libertarian who is maturing slightly as he gets older.
I enjoy low-brow humor and high-brow literature, preferably both at the same time. I am interested in reading about glottogony, early American history and political science, but I will read just about anything. I have subscriptions to Scientific American and Newsweek.
Briefly me
My parents always told me ...
I should be a writer.

The Apology It's not for everything I did, Although it might should be. It's for what I never did And now will never be.
