Owen McCain

 is a contestant from Survivor: Son Doong - Elements.

Profile

 * Name (Age): Owen (49)
 * Tribe Designation: Apa (Water)
 * Current Residence: Denver, Colorado
 * Personal Claim Of Fame: Starting up a juice and smoothie business that uses one hundred percent organic produce grown by yours truly. It at least justified to me that I'm not a dumb hippie growing things in my yard and actually have the brains to turn it into something more.
 * Hobbies: I'm a big nature guy. Going out truffle hunting in the woods that my property backs up to is always fun, and I really enjoy gardening too. It was certainly an investment to get a greenhouse built, but it's made life so much easier having fresh produce right outside my door.
 * Pet Peeves: As harsh as it may sound, people that put me on a pedestal for living with a disability. I was born with damage to my cornea in my left eye which slowly got more damaged as a child, and so for as long as I can still remember I've been completely blind in it. A lot of people say that sort of thing limits you, but I'm doing what I love with no worries at all. I'm not the sort of person to be loud and proud and act like it makes me some super strong person, because I don't know any different. I don't need people to treat me like a hero, because I'm just Owen McCain. I'm a regular guy.
 * 3 Words To Describe You: Calm, considerate, open-minded.
 * If you could have 3 things on an island what would they be and why?: I definitely would want some form of toolkit, since I'm pretty handy with doing most things myself.
 * Survivor Contestant you are Most Like: Some people might expect me to go for Rupert here, but as much as I enjoy watching him, I'm definitely not that loud. A free-spirit type like Jenn Brown might make more sense, though I'm not nearly as snarky as she can be. Maybe a combination of the two of them.
 * Reason for being on Survivor: I'm always down for an adventure, and what better adventure is there than Survivor? I'm also quite invested in working with a lot of charities and environmental groups, so the cash would be huge in helping me make a positive change in the world.
 * Why do you think will be Sole Survivor: For me, this is very much a learning experience. I watched a few seasons back in the day and enjoyed it, but don't spent much time watching TV these days since I much prefer to be up and doing things instead of kicking back, so I'm coming in with a much more fresh slate than most people. That makes me less experienced than people, but it also makes me much more calm heading in. I don't have preconceived notions of what to expect, so I'm not going to be stressing out over anything.
