Owen’s passion has been customer relationships since he first started his career on the ‘sales desk’ after graduating in Marketing Management from BCIT. Throughout his career, Owen travelled North America working closely with customers by developing relationships. His success came from caring about people.
Perhaps it started when his brother Leonard was diagnosed as being profoundly deaf. Owen was a caring and thoughtful brother. That was his first encounter with a disability. Owen’s vision for a company helping others developed while trying to renovate his own home for his disabled son Ryan. Finding the right kind of companies to do the work was difficult.
The turning point came when his own mother needed grab bars in her bathroom but wasn’t advised who could do the work. After doing the installs, he realized just how many people must be in the same situation. Owen elected to start the new company and help others live longer, safer, and more comfortably in their homes.
Now, as a Certified Aging-In-Place specialist, Owen guides and assists families and individuals on the options and strategies for modifying their homes.
