• Owen is a Formula 1 fanatic and once ran a podcast that dug into the history of the sport and the ways motorsport has changed over the years.

He has spent the past seven years writing for print and digital publishers, covering the global drinks industry and the automotive world. After moving to New York in 2021, Owen joined the team at Jalopnik and has spent the years since reviewing dozens of cars, reporting on new model launches, and secretly trying to get us all out on our bicycles more often.
