Being active in athletics his entire life, Bowen was first exposed to CrossFit in mid-2009 when training with the Georgia Tech NROTC. After completing a Memorial Day "Murph," he was hooked for life. Bowen moved to Louisiana in April 2011 where he joined his first CrossFit gym. He received his Level 1 Certification in March 2012 and shortly after joined CrossFit NOLA 504. While maintaining full time employment as a consultant for an accounting firm in the New Orleans area and despite taking grief for being a golfer, Bowen took the opportunity to join the CrossFit NOLA coaching staff in April 2013 and has loved every minute.

Favorite Cheat Meal: large pizza with all the meats and carrot cake for dessert

Fun Fact: Bowen moved to New Orleans for work in 2011, and has been here ever since.
