Owen enjoys music, basketball, and Legos. His dad and uncle both rowed at St. Joseph's Preparatory School, and they introduced him to the sport through a SJP learn-to-row camp. He lists one of his personal heroes as his mom because she demonstrates mental and physical toughness every day, while striving to live by the moral principles of kindness and compassion. She is always there to help and support Owen in whatever new hobby or project he has taken up, and she is and always will be his biggest role model.
