Doug DeGeorge attended Columbia University, where he majored in economics. His subsequent career as a developer led him to building and designing a number of distinct homes throughout Carmel, Pebble Beach and the Carmel Highlands in California. In addition, DeGeorge has developed exclusive restaurants throughout the Monterey Peninsula, including remodeling the Hog's Breath Inn restaurant for actor Clint Eastwood. DeGeorge is widely known as a builder of custom, old-world wine cellars and tasting rooms.
A philanthropist at heart, DeGeorge is the founder of the Kris Kringle Foundation, a charitable organization that brings Christmas to needy families in the Monterey Bay area. He is also a member of the Brotherhood of the Knights of the Vine, a non-profit corporation dedicated to wine professionals and wine enthusiasts. DeGeorge is a self-described family man, living part-time in Carmel, California and part-time in Silverton, Oregon.
DeGeorge's first development in Oregon, the Silverton Inn & Suites, received presidential awards for its economic impact on the Silverton community. His work at the Silverton Inn & Suites has been recognized by community leaders, builders and travelers as having positively contributed to Silverton's economic and community development. DeGeorge's next project, The Lodge at Detroit Lake, is slated to begin in 2009.
"We have recommended the Inn and have received exemplary comments from our visitors. They remark on the spacious rooms and great close-in to Silverton's historic downtown location. We have heard rave reviews of Lisa's restaurant and lounge, as well."
