EAO OwenMeany

Born in June 1969 in the world famous town of Sindelfingen (Home of Mercedes Benz) in sunny southern Germany, Owen spent his youth under the "Mercedes Star" (notice the tan?), and attributes his love of racing to his home town. His mom was a sweet little homemaker that loved her children, and dad was a worker for IBM whos influence would effect Owen later in his life.

During Owen's childhood and teenage years he had no intrest in computers and video games, instead he choose the real sports and was soon a member of the German National Judo Team during his "High School" days. Owen finished his school days in the year 1988 and soon after joined the German Military as an Airborne Ranger. Going back to school to learn the medical profession, Owen earned his Medical Degree in 1998 and is now a sugreon in the town of Driburg. Married for a short time (bad mistake!, said Owen) he has no children and has no plans for any, but his family is very important to him.

In 2001, MrMeany began his online career (well, actually he started much younger, notice the look of consentration?),

He soon developed a love of shooter games starting with Metal of Honor, Call of Duty, and now Battlefield 1942. During his of MOH days, Owen hooked up with his best friend and comrade George Mogala, forming their own "fun" clan -=[CSF]=-

Not only is MrMeany a credit to the human race, he is also a gifted musician. In 2000 he played the guitar in what he discribes as a "weird band" called ZORP. Influenced by "Primus", one of his favourite bands, ZORP had created and recorded 17 songs on an album called "Soulmirror". The album was what Owen calls "a mixture of heavy rock, punk, and progressive rock they called "Progressive Polka Punk Paranoia." You can check out some of ZORP's music by visiting their website at ZORP.de (the guy on the left is Owen)

MrOwen joined the EAOutlaws in May, '04 as a member of Team TRD2, which amazingly enough was his very first "Racing" game. With enthusiasm and excitement, Owen now looks forward to being at home so he can be on his computer playing games, participating on the Bullitin Board and talking to people from all over the world. In just a few short weeks with the EAO, Owen found himself in a position to take a Desperado's spot with the EAO Management Team. Working hard, and most of the time by himself, MrMeany has shown great dedication to Team TRD2 by hosting races as often as he can. He has single handedly made the EAOutlaws a feared and respected Team on the tracks of TRD2. Its very important to OwenMeany that his original members of Team TRD2 know that Owen misses you very much (you know who you are).

OwenMeany "Roomy, intelligent, exhilarating and darkly comic...Quite stunning."

It is both an honor and priviledge to know OwenMeany as a Teammate, we sincerely hope he is a member of this Team for many years to come.

CONGRATULATIONS!
