After attending Cornell College and then Metro State of Denver pursuing an interest in Sociology, Owen set off on the road seeking a life of experiential learning. He has spent the last several years traveling and working with the intent of always adding value through attaining skills and knowledge. Owen has worked as a carpenter, for a mechanic, as an outdoor adventure guide, and as a grassroots organizer for several different campaigns. His interests have taken him to natural building workshops, permaculture courses, conferences on environmental law and international water rights, and many other events that have a focus on the solutions to the world's socio-environmental problems. Other interests include an understanding of non violent communication, conflict resolution and the incorporation of permaculture philosophy into everyday life.
