David Miles Hogg is an American student who survived the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting on February 14, 2018, and afterward became a gun control advocate and an activist against gun violence in the United States. He is one of twenty founding members of Never Again MSD, a gun control advocacy group led by Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School (MSD) students. In conjunction with his gun control advocacy, he has helped lead several high-profile protests, marches, and boycotts. He has also been a target of several conspiracy theories and verbal attacks falsely claiming he may be a crisis actor.
Hogg is originally from Los Angeles, California. He moved to Florida at the beginning of high school. He is the son of Kevin Hogg, a former agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Rebecca Boldrick, a teacher for Broward County Public Schools in Broward County, Florida.
Hogg chose to attend Stoneman Douglas High School because of the television production classes it offered. He is a Teenlink reporter for the Sun Sentinel. He is expected to graduate in Spring 2018 from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
Hogg has been accepted to several universities including the University of California, Irvine, but has not yet decided which university he will attend. He plans to take a year off before starting college to work on the 2018 mid-term elections.
