Ogrin was born and grew up in Waukegan, Illinois.[2] He graduated from Waukegan East High School in 1976, then attended Texas A&M University, graduating in 1980[2] with a degree in economics. In 1980, he won the Illinois Open and the Illinois State Amateur tournament, something not done again until 2017.[3] He turned professional in 1980.

Ogrin played on the PGA Tour from 1983 to 1999. In over 500 starts, he had 32 top-10 finishes including a win at the 1996 LaCantera Texas Open.[4] He also played on the Nationwide Tour where his best finish was a T-3 at the 1993 NIKE Connecticut Open
