Bowie Hogg, the son of two retired public schoolteachers, is a lifelong resident of Arlington, Texas. He is a successful product of the Arlington Independent School District who attended Arlington schools from kindergarten through graduation in the 12th grade. Mr. Hogg received his Business Degree from Texas A&M and now serves as the Director of Strategic Services for a national healthcare company. This energetic Texan is the youngest of four boys and comes from a long Texas heritage of public service. Bowie’s interest in civic involvement was intensified at an early age by the loss of his grandparents and uncle due to a drunk driver. That was difficult but then it happened to his family again. In September of 2000, Bowie lost one of his older brothers to another drunk driver. People marvel at how he has kept an optimistic outlook, and remained on such a dedicated path to helping others.

After being highly recruited out of college, Bowie excelled at FedEx in a job that usually requires years of experience and achieved the ranking of number one in his field. Mr. Hogg then had a unique opportunity when he was selected from over 215,00 young, successful business entrepreneurs for the original edition of NBC's hit show “The Apprentice”.

These experiences added to Bowie's desire to serve the public and helped him realize how blessed he really is. He is now following his true passions of education, healthcare and civic involvement.
