Meet the California RLC Chair, Doug Lorenz:
Douglas Lorenz founded the computer consulting firm Lorenz Technologies in 1990. With offices in San Francisco and Sunnyvale, he provided network solutions and computer systems to companies throughout the Bay Area. As the Internet began to grow as a business and communications tool, Douglas returned to college to update his focus. While in college, Douglas became active in politics, and used his computer skills to encourage greater online communication for political efforts.
He has been very active in developing volunteer political organizations, having created the first online presence for the California College Republicans during his college years. Adding to his technology background, Douglas completed his B.A. degree from California State University Sacramento in Public Relations, with a minor in Economics.
Douglas came to the political consulting firm Russo Marsh & Rogers in 2000, and developed the company’s current information technologies capabilities. Subsequently, during Bill Simon’s campaign for Governor of California, Douglas served as the campaign’s Director of Information Technologies, and designed the campaign’s mobile “War Room” capabilities, allowing campaign staff to stay connected to the main office during remote activities such as conventions and political debates.
Douglas is married and resides in Sacramento, California.
