He has a massive personal music collection! From Nirvana to No Doubt – he has it all! Even the more embarrassing stuff like Spice Girls, New Kids on the Block and Hansen… apparently he doesn’t listen to them anymore…
He has extra long eyelashes – and finds it embarrassing when girls say they’re jealous of them!
He is the baby of his family – he has two older brothers and two older sisters, and is an uncle to eight adult nephews!
His hometown is Duaringa. A small country town 115km west of Rockhampton.
He went to Blackwater State High School, where he was the editor of the school magazine, a school news reporter for the local paper, a regional finalist in a local TV News Reading Competition, and a work experience kid at a TV station! “… and yet I was a really shy and quiet kid, so go figure!”
He stated in radio as a 15 year old volunteer at the local community radio station. “When I got my first taste of radio, I knew that I would be addicted to it for life!”
He has a phobia of frogs – “they are the weirdest, slimiest and most unnatural looking creatures on earth!”
His favourite sport is cricket – but only as a spectator! Fingers crossed, he wants to watch the Aussie’s in action at the GABBA in the next few years!
He is a HUGE fan of the Back to the Future Trilogy – “You built a time machine out of a DeLoreon!?”
Before working at 4RO, Owen worked at the Post Office.
