Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Scottie Vogel has always had a deep connection to Ogunquit. Spending summers in this vibrant coastal town, he worked at beloved local spots like Amore Breakfast, Black Sushi, That Place, and The Front Porch. After gaining experience in the tech sector, Scottie returned to Ogunquit, purchasing The Front Porch  and later opening Crew OGT in 2021—further embedding himself in the community he loves.


With The Trident Inn, Scottie continues his commitment to fostering spaces where locals and visitors alike can gather, connect, and feel at home.  Inspired by the inn’s historic charm and breathtaking views from its perch above downtown, he envisions a refined yet welcoming retreat that blends timeless elegance with modern coastal comfort.
