Logan graduated from the Gregg Township High School. After serving in the U.S. Navy, he earned his BS and MEd in Music Education from The Pennsylvania State University.
His love of music showed through in the excellent bands he directed and students he taught at the Bald Eagle High School and the Fairmont School in the State College Area School District.

Logan was an avid photographer, enjoyed flying a single propeller airplane for many years, and was active in the State College Sports Car Club. Lifelong interests included vintage sport and classic cars, traveling with family and friends, Penn State football, and repairing and building anything he could get his hands on!

His family is grateful for the kind, excellent care he received from his doctors Jeffery Baker, E.P.
