Glogowski was born in Germany to parents of Jewish descent. In 1867 he immigrated to the United States and started working in garments in New York City. In late 1882, he moved to Gainesville, Florida, where he married Bertha Brown in 1883. After a year, Glogowski settled in Tampa and opened a men's clothing store.

Glogowski later involved in local politics and elected as the 21st mayor of Tampa for one-year term in August 1886. He was the first Jewish mayor of the town.
