Doug Katz is a disabled veteran, a knife maker, and the CEO of NULU. He is on a mission to change the way people cut and think about cutting while helping individuals overcome challenges that inhibit their ability to perform kitchen tasks. Doug achieves this with the NULU.

The NULU is an adaptive knife that Doug and his team are bringing to the disabled community to assist in gaining and maintaining independence for food preparation, as well as improving diet, nutrition, health, and well-being. The best part is that it also works incredibly well for able-bodied individuals or those aging into disability due to senior maladies such as arthritis.

Their patent-pending design changes the nature of cutting by better placing the control and cutting areas for more efficient and ergonomic use. Through its multi-blade, multi-grip, customized-use design, the NULU provides users with the ability to grip and cut in the way that best suits their individual needs and limitations. It is truly a transformational approach that they want to get into the hands of anyone who can benefit.

Doug is also active in the lending industry with a boutique practice where he provides residential loans for both owner-occupancy and investment. Through OnTime Mortgage, he offers all types of loans for buyers and homeowners, with a focus on veterans. Additionally, through his company, Redleg Funding, he provides business-use residential loans for investors, such as hard money, renovation, and DSCR loans.
