Before working in Shreveport, Owens was the weekend sports anchor in Redding, California. Owens grew up a multisport athlete in Southfield, Michigan, but he is no stranger to the D.C. area. He played football for two seasons at the Naval Academy and served in the United States Navy for six years. He also received his master's degree in Business Administration from the University of Redlands (California) in 2001.
