George Doug Six was born in Charleston, WV on November 23, 1958. From the age of six, he grew up on a farm in Wadestown, WV working on his family's farm and in their timber business up until his graduation from Clay Battelle High School in 1976.

It was in Stanley, VA where he met his wife, Wanda. Together they moved back to Wadestown, WV where he and his wife re-launched their realty company, Cardinal Realty. They also started a surveying/engineering firm, Blue Mountain Inc., which eventually added aerial mapping and many other services. BMI grew to have as many as 140 employees. After 28 years, BMI was sold to a competitor where Six continues to work and provides his services.

At the age of 61, Doug Six resides on his farm in Wadestown, WV with his wife, Wanda and their son, Adam. To this day, Doug and Adam raise beef cattle and chickens. His entire family still farms raising beef cattle, donkeys, sheep and rabbits. While being employed, he still works on his farm and assists his wife and son in three other business ventures! He loves the great outdoors and is an avid hunter and fisherman.

His beliefs come from being raised in a God-fearing family that believes in the American Dream of doing well for your family and helping your friends and neighbors when able. He believes that hard work and perseverance lead to success in life.
