Raised in a strict religious cult on Chicago’s South Side, Logan grew up isolated, broke, and suicidal by eighteen. He ran toward the sky—joining the Air Force—and then straight into two combat tours in Iraq at “Mortaritaville,” where daily attacks rewired his understanding of fear, purpose, and survival. Coming home brought a new fight: anxiety, depression, a divorce, and the long crawl back through therapy and grit. Today, Logan is a successful live TV director who’s worked marquee events and now channels his story into helping others rewrite theirs.

In this conversation with Donald, Logan opens up about breaking false identities, building resilience, and the obsessive craft behind directing live sports and concerts—from calling camera switches to weaving audio, graphics, and timing into a seamless viewer experience. If you’ve ever felt trapped by your past or curious how the chaos of a control room becomes magic on screen, this one will light a fire under you.
