Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMike Owen is a seasoned PC hardware specialist and small-business owner with over two decades of hands-on experience building, repairing, and scaling custom desktop solutions. After a long tenure leading operations and large build projects at ComputerBase, he founded Eugene Computers to deliver rapid-turnaround custom systems and honest, experience-driven buying advice. He combines deep product knowledge across major OEMs with a practical skepticism—willing to recommend against a sale if it better serves the customer. Outside the shop he pursues off-grid sustainability through solar-powered aquaponics and home automation with OpenHAB, bringing an engineer’s curiosity to food production and IoT. An advocate for open source beyond software, he blends technical craftsmanship with community-minded sustainability work.
