was promoted to athletic director on May 7, 2004. He has been at
SVSU in some capacity since 1972. He served the 13 years as head coach of the highly-successful golf program at SVSU after 13 seasons as assistant and four on the squad. Vogl earned 11 letters in five sports as a prep at Owosso St. Paul High School, including letters in football, basketball, baseball, track, and golf as a senior. After graduating in 1971, the all-state prep linebacker enrolled at Ferris State, but an injury cut his career short. He transferred to SVSU and led the Cardinal golf team to three GLIAC titles and three NAIA national tournaments.

A two-time All-GLIAC and All-District selection, Vogl served as captain his senior year, leading SVSU to a 13th place finish at the national tournament. SVSU competed in the NAIA nationals 13 times while Vogl served as assistant coach. When the Cardinals left the NAIA to become exclusively affiliated with NCAA, Vogl took over as head coach and has led SVSU to GLIAC titles in 1996 and 1998. He was named the league's "Coach of the Year" in 1993, 1996 and 1998. Vogl guided the Cardinals to back-to-back NCAA national tournament appearances in 1997 and 1998. He is currently chairman of the District IV golf coaches committee, a member of the USGA, and a board member of the Kawkawlin River Association. He has played in several Michigan Amateur Championships. Vogl is also a member of the Coach of the Year award committee. Vogl earned his BBA at SVSU in 1976 and his MBA in 1982.
