U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson meets with ambassadors and chargés d'affaires during a regional chiefs of mission meeting in Paris, 2018, with Logsdon on the left.
A foreign service officer (a member of the Senior Foreign Service), Logsdon was chief of staff to under secretary for economic growth, energy and the environment Keith J. Krach from September 30, 2019, to July 30, 2021. Previously, he served as the principal deputy assistant secretary in the Bureau of Energy Resources. He came to that position after serving as the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Berlin, Germany, serving as chargé d'affaires from January 2017 to May 2018.[1] Logsdon was the chief of staff to the deputy secretary of state for management and resources in Washington, D.C. before he went to Berlin.[2]
According to the State Department, Logdson "has spent the bulk of his career, spanning over 34 years, in the European and Eurasia region."
On 21 May 2023, as a result of the pro-European rally European Moldova National Assembly held in Chișinău, the Embassy of the United States in Chișinău released a message stating that "The U.S. Embassy is proud to support Moldova's European path". Logsdon participated in this rally "to demonstrate our commitment to working with the Republic of Moldova to build a democratic, prosperous and secure future" as he declared.[8]
