Owen is now the president of UV Software Inc, which was founded in 1993 to develop and market software for converting mainframes to Unix and Linux. For detailed descriptions of the JCL, COBOL,& DATA conversions, please see the web site at 'http://www.uvsoftware.ca'.

Owen enjoys jogging on the trails in Lynn Headwaters park in North Vancouver. He has jogged for over 30 years, but only started running 1/2 marathons in 2006. Since then he has run 6 and surprised himself by winning (in his age group), the 2007 Toronto International 1/2 marathon in 1 hour 52 minutes.
