Hello. I'm Doug DePew. I'm glad you found your way here. I am a teacher and tester in a federal prison, but have done a lot of things through the years. I'm a veteran of the US Army infantry and Naval Reserves. I also enjoy music and songwriting and am a life member of Nashville Songwriter's Association International. A few years back, I wrote a couple books about my experiences in the Army. More writing projects and other creative endeavors are planned for the future. I'm a historian by profession, so some historical fiction or straight history is possible. I'll also add music and songs as they're ready. People have been asking me for years to write a book about prison education. That's a work in progress. As it grows, this site will be a combination of interests. Hopefully this gives you a chance to get to know me better. Thank you for visiting my site, and I hope you enjoy it.

Welcome to my site!
