Owen Janssen

Owen Jansen moved to the United States from Holland, where his father was a professor, when he was two years old. His family loved traveling and he has crisscrossed the whole country (and part of the world) with them. He finally slowed down long enough to get his teaching degree in Minnesota, but it wasn't long before he and his college sweetheart were off again, traveling the world together. The couple got married in Minnesota but decided to settle down in Portland, Oregon, where Owen put his teaching degree to good use. He has spent spent the last 20 years in teaching, also teaching his own children during that time. Owen has a love of random trivia, technology, and educational matters in general. He also has a guilty pleasure of enjoying pop culture and the occasional karaoke night. He and his family still travel during summer vacations; from Disney World to going back to Holland, he still can't get enough of all the sights he can find. His books are action packed, entertaining and exceptionally amusing! If you love random trivia, fun facts and awesome true stories, check out his books!
