Getting to Know: Doug Ireland
Meet Doug Ireland, one of our Service Advisors. Doug came to Dahl in 2019 after working as a Service Manager at another dealership. Before that, he sold products to dealerships, making him part of the car business for a total of 30 years!
Doug was born and raised in Burlington and moved to Davenport 10 years ago. He’s been with his partner in crime, Pam, for 15 years. He has a son, two daughters, and two grandchildren. In his free time, he enjoys hunting, flea market hunting, and working on his 1967 Chevelle. His biggest passion is collecting historical artifacts. He collects antique saws and uses them as decorations in his home. His living room has 20 saws on the walls, including a windmill decoration made entirely of them. His biggest collection, however, is his antique rifle collection. He has many WWII rifles, some even earlier. They each tell a story, his favorite being his 1910 Mosin-Nagant. He has dedicated an entire room to his 75 antique rifles. If a militia is ever needed in the US, Doug would most likely be their commander.
Doug likes going on road trips. He says he likes driving - not flying - so he can see more. He loves visiting historical sights or going anywhere in the desert. He would love to see Alaska someday (although he thinks he might not want to come back!) Anytime you ask Doug how he’s doing he always responds with “peachy”, or “I’m a peach”. Next time you see Doug, be sure to say “Sup Sup”!
