THE 2023 ALUMNUS OF THE YEAR JOSH VOGELBACH '04

In front of his wife, Emily, family, and a record number of Gala attendees, Mr. Josh Vogelbach was awarded the Alumnus of the Year award for 2023. A 2004 graduate of Verot, Josh is the oldest of three siblings (all Vikings), who has continued to share his passion for athletics with the Verot family.

Some of his greatest memories of Verot are centered around athletics – being a member of the football team to conquer Clewiston for the first time was a highlight to his many Friday Night Lights. Sitting in the stands as his younger brother, Daniel, contributed to the first-ever Verot Baseball State Championship is another. The lifelong friendships made while a student play a significant part in his life today.

While his memories of his time here as a student are very special, it is the impact he makes on today’s Vikings that means the most.

“Impacting young athletes has been a huge passion of mine for as long as I can remember. The fact that I get to do it at my alma mater and the school that helped me so much is truly special.”

Josh has served as a coach with the Verot Football Program for many years. He also works with individual athletes, offering athletic conditioning and training, helping them to achieve their personal goals. BV
