Team Biographies
The Owens Family
Susan and Pete have been married for over 30 years. Both hail from military families and now call Central Florida their home.
Susan came from a corporate background and loves working with Owens Distributors. She considers the staff part of her extended family. Pete and Sue have one son, Matt, who currently resides in the Pacific Northwest.
The whole family has been involved in helping Pete grow the business, lending a hand wherever needed … from washing buckets to assisting customers and working in the office.
When not working, you can probably find Pete on his beloved sailboat, looking for a good downwind tack.

I have used Owens Distributors on a continuous basis for over 20 years when Pete installed and serviced my dishmachine. I have been approached many times during that period, but never changed suppliers. Fast service and good quality with fair pricing – I have recommended Pete’s services many times and still do!
