He was an ex-navy seal and his training was in killing terrorists, and breaking things. There wasn't much call for an experienced soldier in the modern day workforce. Owen and his wife had been together since grade school. He was lost, empty, and unemployed. When he tried to get back into the military, he was denied. He had seen too much, fought too many battles, and they believed he was mentally damaged by war. The Navy recruiter's brother was looking for employees to tear down buildings in Washington, DC, and Owen was offered a job. He traveled from his home in Kentucky, took up residence in a broken down apartment building with a young man who would be his coworker.
