History regarding the owner, Doug Brown – 1976-Current
After acquiring his A.B.A. degree in 1967, serving in the Vietnam War and finally getting his A.B.S. degree in Marine Technology, Doug and his wife headed for Brazil. There he worked laying underwater pipeline for the Brazilian government. He returned to the states in 1973 (New Orleans, La.) to continue his diving trade in the oil field business. Shortly after relocating to Louisiana, Doug had his first son, Jonah. In an effort to spend more time on-shore with his family, Doug found it necessary to switch careers.
In 1974 Doug joined a group of contract painters to hone his painting skills. He quickly moved on to self-employment and established “Doug Brown, Contractor” later that year. Initially, Doug did maintenance and renovations on commercial, residential and rental properties. His skills grew to include sheetrock hanging and finishing, extensive carpentry, plumbing and electrical work, roofing, and concrete work.

As business grew, so did his family. Doug had four sons and one particularly awesome daughter, who spent their summers working for dad. While three of his sons have worked with him on an as needed basis, his eldest (Jonah) is committed to a long-term partnership and has brought with him a more modern approach to doing business. His business savvy coupled with Doug’s traditional professionalism has made them a dynamic duo.
