Meet the Bowens

Robert L. Bowen, Founder, CEO of Bowen Engineering, and his wife Terry, have a deep commitment to the African-American community of Marion County and the surrounding area.

The Bowens believe that given an opportunity, a person can increase his or her earning potential, improve self-esteem, set an example for future generations, and strive to help our students achieve that.
