Square-jawed, poised, and earnest-yet-affable, Rep. Vogt cuts a figure that is part Clark Kent, part Eagle Scout (an honor he earned in his youth – naturally), and part local chamber of commerce booster. Rep. Vogt's odyssey of accomplishment began in Council Bluffs, Iowa, where he was born. Before he was two years old, his family was relocated by his father's company to Salt Lake City. Employed by Sperry-Univac (now L-3 Communications), the elder Vogt worked on the development of data links for intelligence platforms and other defense technologies that his son would later rely upon as a military officer in Afghanistan. Vogt was a public school student until sixth grade and then became, in his words, "a Protestant in a Catholic school system in a Mormon state." During his youth, Vogt grew to love the natural beauty of the Mountain West and spent a great deal of time hiking and camping in the Beehive State's sensational parks.
