Owen was born on December 23, 1975 in Houston, Texas, and moved to Florida in 1976, being raised in Brandon. He is Christian. He maintains a law practice specializing in real estate.
Owen publicly opposed Amendment 2 in 2020, which intended to gradually raise the minimum wage in Florida to $15 by 2026. He stated that he would not be opposed to increasing the minimum wage in the future, but believed it was unwise at the time.
Owen proposed a bill in February 2025 that would create a constitutional referendum to limit members of the Florida Senate to two four-year terms and the Florida House of Representatives to four two-year terms.
