Eric Vogler
Arlington,VA
Summary
My education and much of my experience are in accounting, but my skillset extends beyond that one field; I communicate well via the written word, and I've done a bit of work creating online written content. Additionally, I've been highly successful as a buyer and in inventory management. Past work associates would readily testify that I'm an excellent teammate, and I remain close to many former supervisors and coworkers.
As my wife is a foreign diplomat, I live a nomadic life. We've enjoyed calling the DC metro area home for six years, and we expect this post to be extended a few more. One former post was the Czech Republic, and it provided both the unexpected challenge of being unable to work due to my diplomatic visa status and also the beautiful blessing of having the chance to raise my two sons. In retrospect, I wouldn't trade those years for the world. Now, I'm raising my twin daughters born in 2023, and I'm looking for the right position to balance the needs of my children with my desire to do great work for a forward-looking employer.
