He began his life on a farm near Albert City, and then in 1956, the family moved to their current farmstead near Rembrandt, Iowa. In time, Warren graduated from Rembrandt High School and continued his education at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in Animal Husbandry. He, then, attended the University of South Dakota in Vermillion, South Dakota, and earned a master’s degree in Business Administration. Moreover, he served his country as a Captain in the Iowa National Guard from May 18, 1968, to November 21, 1987, directly followed by service in the 103rd Cor Support Command US Reserves as a Captain for about ten years.

Warren began his business career as a stock broker in commodities, first in Sioux City, Iowa, but he, later, moved to Denison, Iowa, to continue his career.

After Mildred’s death, Warren continued to make his home on the farm.
