Career
A native of Virginia, Hogan graduated from the Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins University with a bachelor's degree in 1971, and would go on to earn a master's degree in voice in 1975. He would later help in the founding of The Walden School, a summer program based on the campus of Dublin School in Dublin, New Hampshire.{{Cite news |last=O'Mara |first=Richard |date=1996-08-25 |title=An Unfinished Life David Hogan's career as a composer was just beginning its cresecndo when his life was cut short by the explosion of TWA Flight 800. |work=Baltimore Sun |url=https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1996-08-25-1996238078-story.html |access-date=2022-07-13}}{{cite web| last=Hamlin|first=Jesse|title=H.
