David Vogel

David Vogel began his teaching career as a speech and debate coach for homeschooled students. A former homeschooler himself, he was a nationally-ranked speaker in Policy and Lincoln-Douglas debate and collegiate mock trials. After being hired by the North Carolina-based Cultural Commission organization, he taught public speaking, debate, critical thinking, Christian Worldview, and apologetics to students ranging from 12 to 18.

David Vogel founded Living the Answer LLC in 2007, with the goal of helping youth develop their minds for the glory of God. With classes ranging from basic logic and rhetoric for younger students to worldview and philosophy training, Living the Answer seeks to produce students who know what they believe, know why they believe it, and are prepared to humbly communicate those beliefs.

Before becoming an educator, David Vogel worked as a reporter for the Alamance News, North Carolina's largest weekly newspaper. He took time off from teaching in 2006 to coordinate a grassroots get-out-the-vote campaign in Wake County on behalf of North Carolina House candidates Russell Capps, Nelson Dollar, and Paul Stam (current NC House Majority Leader), producing voter turnout nearly double that of nearby precincts. He was also involved in conservative NC House campaigns in 2008 and 2010.

In 2007, he was a speaker at the North Carolinians for Home Education Legislative Day in Raleigh, and he delivered the 2011 graduation address for the Cabarrus County Home School Association. He has been North Carolina state representative for the National Christian Forensics and Communications Association (NCFCA) speech and debate organization since 2010.
