	Raised in Fox Chapel, Pennsylvania, ~~Spink~~ spent his early years (ages 2-4) pony riding and fox hunting. By the age of 12, he had won two young pony hunter championships. After ~~graduating from high school~~, he attended Reed College in Portland, Oregon, where he often brought his Golden Retriever ''Gifford'' to class with him.		Douglas was born to parents Jack Derry and Claire Spink on {{#formatdate:1971-03-17\|mdy}} in [[wikipedia:Pittsburgh\|Pittsburgh]], [[wikipedia:Pennsylvania\|Pennsylvania]], their second and final child. Raised in the nearby suburb of [[wikipedia:Fox Chapel, Pennsylvania\|Fox Chapel, Pennsylvania]], he spent his early years (ages 2-4) pony riding and fox hunting. By the age of 12, he had won two young pony hunter championships. After completing his secondary education at a private academy, he attended [[wikipedia:Reed College\|Reed College]] in [[wikipedia:Portland, Oregon\|Portland, Oregon]], where he often brought his [[wikipedia:Golden Retriever\|Golden Retriever]] ''Gifford'' to class with him.

	In 1993, Spink was awarded a Bachelor of Arts in Cultural Anthropology from Reed. Later that summer, he found work at a dog breeding service and it was there that he had his first sexual experience with a canine. The next year he relocated to Chicago where he became married and started a career at the local office of Boston Consulting Group, rising to the position of Financial Director of Safecard Services. At that time he was also accepted into the University of Chicago's Graduate School of Business, from which he ~~went on to earn~~ a ~~Masters~~ degree in ~~Business Administration~~.

In recognition of his exemplary performance at the school and qualifying score on the [[wikipedia:Law School Admission Test\|LSAT]], he was offered entry into the school's dual J.D./M.B.A. program, but ultimately opted to defer admission at the time.<ref name="malloney">{{Cite book\|last=Maloney\|first=Carreen\|year=2018\|title=Uniquely Dangerous\|url=https://uniquelydangerous.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/uniquelydangerous_carreenmaloney-rev1-0.pdf\|format=PDF\|url-status=live\|publisher=Carreen Maloney\|page=44\|archive-url=http://archive.today/2025.12.24-164428/https://uniquelydangerous.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/uniquelydangerous_carreenmaloney-rev1-0.pdf\|archive-date=2025-12-24\|isbn=9781732065406\|access-date=2025-12-24\|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

	In 1996, Spink founded the company Timberline Direct, which he sold two years later for US$5.4 million. He used a portion of this money to purchase Capone, a ~~race~~ [[~~horse~~]], for $27,000, and to found a new company, Timberline Farms, in the Portland suburb of Beaverton, Oregon. The organization imported and bred Grand Prix show jumping horses, requiring $30,000 per month to cover operating expenses. He also, along with his wife, ran a Golden Retriever rescue and breeding organisation. The white star Capone donned on his forehead was the inspiration for the identical tattoo on Spink's arm.

	In 1996 Spink founded Timberline Direct(p73), a company he sold two years later for $5.4M(p73). He used a portion of this money to purchase Capone, a race [[horse]], for $27,000(p73), and found Timberline Farms in Beaverton, Portland, an organisation that imported and bred Grand Prix show jumping horses(p75) and that eventually required $30,000 a month in operating fees(p76). He also, along with his wife, ran a Golden Retriever rescue and breeding organisation(p75). The white star Capone donned on his forehead was the inspiration for the identical tattoo on Spink's arm(p73).

	At some point in the late 90s, he was [[~~outing~~\|outed]] by another zoo(p81). This perhaps led to the separation of him and his wife from the same year up to 2001, though they were still partners. However, in 2003, Spink ended his marriage when he took custody of his Golden Retriever ''Rion''(p87).		At some point in the late 90s, he was [[Outing\|outed]] by another zoo(p81).
