Doug grew up on the South Shore of Boston. He graduated in 2002 from Bentley University with a finance degree and went on to pursue his certificate in financial planning at Boston University. He started his career in the financial industry in 2001 with Northwestern Mutual Inc. In 2008, he decided to join Commonwealth Financial Network^®. His goal was to enhance his existing full-service wealth management model and deliver it in a more highly personalized way. To become independent from any institution and to have a more intimate and less corporate "client experience" was the achieved objective.

They understand all the complexities of the changing financial climate and will make recommendations in your best interest.

Doug enjoys spending time with his wife, Lisa, and their two young boys, Dean and Drew. The Mavilias reside in Hanover, Massachusetts, and enjoy spending their free time near the water. When Doug is not chasing around his two boys, he enjoys sports, live music, and is an avid car enthusiast. Doug is also an active member of the Larz Anderson Auto Museum.
