Doug Hull, Athletic Programs Supervisor Retires after 34 years Doug retired on July 31, 2015 after 34 years of service to the City of Shel- by Parks & Recre- ation Department. The thing Doug is most proud of is " being able to touch so many kids lives" and follow them as they become adults. Doug has seen kids come through our pro- grams and then their kids and in the last few years, their grandchildren come thru our pro- grams. Doug is married to Tina and they have 2 children Nathan & Nicole, and 5 grandchildren. Doug looks forward to spending time with his family and also is an avid Shelby High Golden Lion, North Carolina Tarheel, Atlanta Braves and Dallas Cowboy fan.
