Perry Vogel
Perry Vogel joined Protelo as a Senior Technology Consultant. He is a southeast central native of North Dakota and long believed his career would lead him to California. Early on, Perry earned his spot at the International Science and Engineering Fair with a project that he wrote in assembly language. He earned an associate of science degree in computer information systems with formal training in RPG programming.
Perry started his career working as a lead developer of customer contract maintenance, lead analyst of customer service call center systems, and lead implementor of new technologies. Perry then spent fifteen years as the lead systems administrator responsible for all aspects of IBM i systems. During this tenure, Perry earned his IBM Certified Specialist Certifications and worked with IBM to help rewrite their certification exams.
Most recently, Perry worked seven years for Iptor, a supply chain management company that provides professional services and enterprise resource management software for distributors and wholesalers. He was the senior consultant responsible for clients in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Perry joined Protelo already having known and collaborated with his colleagues for over two decades. Being part of a team at a company that operates on honesty, transparency, and integrity is something that resonated with him as he volunteers in a youth organization preparing young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes. Perry is also a cofounder of a nonprofit organization focused on a specific bird species in the Dakotas tracking populations and trends with conservation and research efforts.
Outside of volunteering and work, you will find Perry on an adventure under the seas or over the mountains. He is an avid SCUBA diver, RVer, hiker, and cross-country skier. He and his wife make their home in North Dakota. Their adult son is an Eagle Scout, on his life journey, pursuing a computer science career.
