Glen was born in Mitchell, Nebraska on November 11, 1929 and was a US Army Korean War Veteran. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree from USC in Engineering. His career in the aerospace industry allowed him develop and receive several patents, and he took pride in the fact that some of his communications filters are still sitting on the moon's surface as part of the Apollo program.
