"Douglas Jackson Brooks", known professionally as "Doug Stone", is an American country music singer. He debuted in 1990 with the single "I'd Be Better Off (In a Pine Box)", the first release from his 1990 Doug Stone (album)/self-titled debut album for Epic Records. Both this album and its successor, 1991's I Thought It Was You, earned a platinum music recording sales certification/certification from the Recording Industry Association of America. Two more albums for Epic, 1992's From the Heart (Doug Stone album)/From the Heart and 1994's More Love (album)/More Love, are each certified gold. Stone moved to Columbia Records to record Faith in Me, Faith in You, which did not produce a Top Ten among its three singles. After suffering a heart attack and stroke in the late 1990s, he exited the label and did not release another album until Make Up in Love in 1999 on Atlantic Records. The Long Way was released in 2002 on the Audium label (now part of E1 Music), followed by two albums on the independent Lofton Creek Records.

He just attacks everything as hard as he can from the minute we start until he runs out of gas, and that's every single practice. We just want to kind of work on maintaining a little bit more.

A lot of my guys that you really don't know about that will dictate how things play out at the end of the year were really hot today. Our fourth and fifth swims were really solid across the board, and I had some huge 200 free swims right out the gate. That's going to make life a lot easier for us having some guys fill that role.

That's the most fun for me, meeting them, getting to know their life, we've become a family.

He can take two or three minutes with me just before an event and listen to what I want him to do and then put it all together and go do it. That's the kind of kid he is.
