Before his first birthday, Sam moved with his family to Germany where his father – a major in the US Military – was stationed.
From Germany the family moved to Panama due to the United States invasion of Panama.
Hoger got interested in martial arts as a kid when he saw Karate Kid in the movies, and subsequently his mother placed him in karate lessons in Panama.
The family moved to Alaska when Sam was a teenager, where he got interested in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and started training under Ted Stickel around the age of 13.
Sam graduated from Chugiak High School and got a senatorial nomination to United States Military Academy.
