Bio
Jim Gibb
Throughout my career I've been fortunate enough to work with many great business minds. I have also been privileged enough to mentor, and spend quality time with our next generation of great business leaders. Owen would be one of those individuals. He's a hard working, passionate individual with a desire to learn, and the ability to retain what he learns, and then implement practical business practices quickly. Owen would be an assets to whichever company he works for. Jim Gibb
Dan McArthur
Owen is hardworking, smart individual who adds value to any class room he involved with. Working in an academic environment with Owen was a pleasure. I could always count on him to go above and beyond with his work; he was proactive and didactic in his approach to everything we did.
