Glen received his Associates for Electronics from Devry university in 1997 and served as a field service technician for Preco Industries for 22 years and 8 months. He was very dedicated to his work and strived to learn and teach in his field. This career gave him the opportunity to travel and fulfill his gypsy soul. He was able to see the world in ways many could only dream and he shared it with anyone and everyone he could through pictures, video, and stories.
He was known for his laid back carefree personality as well as his patriotism and support for our active military and veterans. He proudly volunteered for the Patriot Guard along side his best friend and veteran Thomas Ruggles. He loved being able to ride his bike and serve a purpose.
Through out his life he always made sure to give everything he could to those in need, even strangers. His heart and his presence will be missed by several all over the world. As he would say, please do not mourn me, celebrate me and carry on my legacy.
