High School (Miramonte - Orinda, Calif.): Lettered one year in baseball ... brought up mid-way through junior year and helped lead Miramonte to North Coast Section 2A Title at the Oakland Coliseum ... high school baseball coach was Vince Dell A[apos]quilla. Personal: Member of cadet squadron 11, the Rebeleven ... born April 30, 1988 in Paris, France ... plans on majoring in aeronautical engineering ... hobbies are baseball and flying ... has two older brothers, Martin (30) and Stephen (22) ... son of Norman and Patricia Bowen. Why I came to the Academy: 'I came to the Academy because it has always been my dream. I[apos]ve always wanted to be a pilot and have strived for years to come here. Finally on a clear path to becoming a pilot is a great feeling. Having the opportunity to play baseball at this level is unbelievable.' My plans for the future: 'When I graduate after these long four years, I would like to go on to pilot training. I[apos]d like to fly the F-15, or the F-35 right out of pilot training, and possibly move up to the F-22. I intend on staying several years past the required number and upon retirement (from the Air Force) become a commercial pilot.'
