Glen was raised in the suburbs of Chicago and graduated from Maine Township High School West on June 9, 1966, in Des Plaines, Illinois. Glen enlisted in the army in 1970 and proudly served his country for 22 ½ years. While in the army he served two tours of duty in Germany where he picked up the language and learned more about his heritage. During his service he received The Army Commendation Medal and The Meritorious Service Medal, along with numerous other awards.

After retiring from the army in 1992 Glen remained in the San Antonio area and worked as a commissioned security officer for another 20 years. Glen attended St. Mary’s University from 1996 to 1998, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree. After earning his Bachelor’s degree he attended law school at St. Mary’s.

Following his second retirement, he enjoyed writing, collecting sports cards, cars and spending time with his grandchildren. He was able to visit Colorado and see the mountains again in 2015.
