Seth Hogan

Northeast District Manager

After graduating from Messiah University with a degree in Mathematics, Seth taught middle school and high school math for 18 years.  During that time, he started playing disc golf and volunteering with Eagles Wings. After a few years, he felt like God was telling him to stop teaching and work for Eagles Wings. After praying about it, his wife told him that she felt the same calling, without him ever mentioning it to her.

His wife and four kids are a big part of the ministry and help him run events and programs.  When they are not playing disc golf, they enjoy playing board games as a family or playing other sports.

My father worked at a prison and the pastor there invited us to church. After a few months, Seth accepted Christ while sitting in the service on a Sunday morning.
