In Au­gust of 1969, he mar­ried his first wife, De­lores Michels. They briefly moved to Wa­ter­loo, IA, where Glen started his sales ca­reer as a car sales­man at Schukei Motor Co. be­fore tak­ing over the fam­ily farm.
Glen re­mained a farmer in Iowa and Mis­souri until 1982 when he ac­cepted a po­si­tion with Se­lect Sires as a tech­ni­cian and then quickly moved to a sales man­ager.

He re­ceived the 2015 Pi­o­neer Award, the most pres­ti­gious award given by the co­op­er­a­tive, prov­ing that Glen knew his bull.
Some of Glen’s hob­bies in­cluded Nascar, going on GYC trips, vis­it­ing Florida, and going to auc­tions. One of the most trea­sured things he picked up at an auc­tion was his wife, Karen. They were mar­ried in June of 1998 and have en­joyed over 25 years of love and friend­ship.
