Owen is currently in his freshman (plebe) year at the United States Merchant Marine Academy. It has been an extremely rigorous year both academically and physically, but he is now in his 3rd trimester and is settled in and looking forward to his continuing studies and year at sea. His plans for the future are to graduate from the academy and then commission as an officer in the United States Navy. Owen was awarded the Mark Martinez scholarship in 2022. This scholarship has provided him with everything necessary to succeed academically and he is so grateful to the Martinez family and Longmont Community Foundation for affording him this opportunity.
