About Doug Hogue
Born and raised in Kentucky, from the rugged beauty of Hazard to the historic heart of Harrodsburg—I carry the values of hard work, integrity, and innovation that define the Commonwealth and inspire the nation. A U.S. Air Force veteran who served with honor during the Cold War, I brought that same mission-driven focus to a remarkable 40-year career at UniFirst Corporation, where I pioneered cybersecurity, enterprise technology solutions, and AI that transformed how organizations operate and thrive in a digital world.In 2025, I founded Hogue Technology, a forward-looking firm dedicated to equipping businesses and institutions with strategies to secure intelligent systems for the AI-powered future. My thought leadership reaches far beyond state lines, mentoring professionals and shaping strategies that drive progress across industries.On April 15, 2025, Governor Andy Beshear commissioned me as a Kentucky Colonel, the state’s highest civilian honor, recognizing my lifelong dedication to service, excellence, and uplifting others through the Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels. Whether advancing technology on a national stage or celebrating Kentucky’s bourbon legacy, I lead with purpose, proving that impact begins at home and resonates everywhere. I am CEO and Founder of Hogue Technology, a firm that turns technology chaos into business advantage. I have spent five decades designing strategies, operating computers, designing systems, programming software, and securing computer and network systems, from ARPANET to zero trust.
