Doug's career as an inventor started at the young age of 12 when he developed and sold a series of juggling an magic kits.

Over a period of ten years he found himself in the position of Master Marketing Inventor. During his time with the company he became quite famous for his accomplishment of inventing and shipping out nine separate products in only twelve months time. This is an amazing and unthinkable accomplishment in the business world.

He spent ten years working at Proctor & Gamble but eventually quit so he could pursue other ventures. Shortly after he opened up the Eureka! Ranch in Ohio and soon he had locations in even UK and Mexico. The Eureka! Ranch is best described by him as being an 'invention and research think tank' that does what it can to help business professionals from everywhere make better decisions in their business.

Hall is an extremely dedicated individual that has selflessly given his own time and money to many people to see them pursue their dreams and find success. He has a real knack for helping other people find their real potential and because of it his is the recipient of many awards. This selfless way of helping has also given him the chance to work with several companies such as Nike and American Express.

Doug fits in a lot of speaking events around the world into his schedule as well. Some of which are very famous events to business professionals. He considers this a great way to connect and help as many people as he can.

When Doug began his journey he primarily focused on only the large corporations in the world, but around 2001 and 2002 he began shifting that focus to the small businesses the typically drive the economy.

Of all the things Doug has invented, his most well known and popular is what he named the Merwyn Technology. This is an artificial intelligence that can provide predictions about how successful any business idea would be. The amazing program took him and his research team a total of 6 years and about $20 million to fully develop. It was originally designed to be used by bigger companies, but after a period of time he also opened up a chance for small businesses to enter an idea into the system as well.
