#PeopleOfPrecise: Meet Bobby Owens

Meet Bobby Owens – Indiana Team Lead and Precise Systems’ Employee Spotlight for April 2024.

Bobby is the Team Lead for our MEW IAC MAC contract based out of our Odon, IN office. As Team Lead, he is directly responsible for ensuring operational parts are delivered to our nation’s defenders in an expedited manner and getting nonfunctional parts refurbished by the vendors. This is his favorite part about his role, as he plays an important part in impacting sailors’ readiness and ability to protect our nation.

This type of impact was not something Bobby felt until he joined the Precise Team. He explains, “Joining Precise has given me a completely different outlook on how I can effectively impact the daily lives and well-being of those who are protecting our country and the freedoms we have.” Having this perspective gives him a lot of pride in his work and the product he delivers each day.

He also follows the advice of Ret. Army Colonel Mike Garlington, who has had an inspiring and lasting impression on his life. Bobby says that some of the best advice Colonel Garlington gave him is to not concern yourself with the events you cannot control. Focus your efforts on the things that are within your control – your life, your family, and your work. Let the rest fall into place. Bobby understands that you can only bring your best into the job, and not everything will go exactly as expected. His Team knows that Bobby’s best results in an incredible work ethic and he makes everything better because of it!

Outside of the office, Bobby is a big fan of the film, Remember the Titans, especially Denzel Washington’s character, Coach Hermon Boone. In the movie, Coach Boone took control of a very troubling time of a team’s existence and was able to conquer one of their biggest hurdles. His leadership is something that Bobby identifies with strongly, and if he was given the choice to play a character in any movie of his choosing, Coach Boone would be it!

We are extremely appreciative of Bobby’s hard work, determined demeanor, and impressive leadership abilities. His MEW IAC MAC Team, and the greater Precise Team, are better because of it. Thank you, Bobby, for the inspiration and indelible mark you have left on our company! Â
