He also was a lifelong innovative farmer always trying new crops and using irrigation early in his area. After his father had a disabling heart attack Glens mother went to work as a teacher of cosmetology for 30 years. At age 18, Glen's father passed away leaving five children and a farm to his mother.

Glen went to elementary and high school in New York Mills MN and college in Moorhead MN for sociology and business administration at Moorhead State University.

Glen moved to Lakeville, MN where he worked for Pitney Bowes Corporation as a postal equipment inspector. The 80's farm crises brought Glen back to New York Mills.

Glen is proud of his children with three college graduates, one attending college, one a honor student in high school and most importantly proud and contributing citizens of our great country.
