My name is Josh Owens, but online I go by TBK. Born and raised in Southern California, I've always had a passion for learning new things. I studied Computer Engineering and Consumer Affairs in college, and spent nearly 16 years in sales, a career I started at just 15. Though I excelled in sales, I never truly felt passionate about it. After being laid off, I saw it as a blessing in disguise—an opportunity to focus on one of my greatest passions: 3D printing. This hobby has always been something I wanted to turn into a career. Now, I’m dedicated to making that dream a reality, using 3D printing as a creative outlet and a way to help others.

I owe much of my success to the incredible people around me—those who kept me motivated, believed in me, and gave me the strength to overcome challenges. I want to give a massive thank you to my incredibly strong single mother of two, my beautiful significant other, and my adorable dog, Malcolm.
