Doug Luffborough Biography

Doug "Dr. Luff" Luffborough, III was shaped by his early years raised by his mother, a housekeeper, in an impoverished environment. As the oldest son in a single-parent family, he assumed the role of a father figure to his three younger siblings without a strong male role model. His determination was evident as he aimed to be the first in his family to attend college, a dream that seemed even more distant when his family faced homelessness during his senior year of high school. Despite these challenges, Luffborough's dedication paid off, and he was accepted into Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, where he pursued a degree in Business and Human Resources Management.

Luffborough's academic journey continued as he excelled and became the student commencement speaker at his graduation from Northeastern University, an event that also featured then-President Bill Clinton. This encounter led to an invitation for Luffborough and his mother to visit the White House. After completing his undergraduate degree, he furthered his education by acquiring a master's degree from Harvard University Graduate School of Education, focusing on Administration, Planning, and Social Policy. He also earned a Ph.D. in leadership studies and educational consulting from the University of San Diego.

Over the past two decades, Luffborough has leveraged his educational background and personal experiences to contribute significantly as a leadership consultant, social entrepreneur, and advocate for social change, emphasizing youth development and family empowerment. He has developed and directed various social service programs across the United States and Asia. His commitment to making impactful changes was recognized when he received the San Diego Channel 10 Leadership Award for his contributions to improving the quality of life in San Diego.

Currently, Luffborough serves as an adjunct professor in the Graduate School of Education at Point Loma Nazarene University. He has authored influential works such as "Watch Me Rise: From the Streets of Despair to the Halls of the Ivy League" and "Rising To The Top: A Guide to Success." His speeches, including "Watch Me Rise: My Journey from Homeless to Harvard" and "The P.O.W.E.R. of Leadership," have garnered acclaim at various prestigious venues, including the Kennedy Library and Northeastern University's commencement. His life and career continue to inspire and influence, embodying a profound testament to resilience and the pursuit of educational and professional excellence.
