As a young child, Warren learned how to fish on the creek – a good stiff branch, string and a safety pin would do the trick. During this time in his life, he also enjoyed drumming on anything. Every chance that he got, he would find some sticks and drum. He played with Milo and Iris Dalley, who gave him his first set of drums. He also was part of a band; Ross Dunn and his Orchestra, and enjoyed playing at dances and other venues. Later in life, he picked up refinishing furniture. He was very talented and could make any beat up piece look brand new.

He was drafted into the army shortly after, serving in WWII, until his honorable discharge in 1946. They had two daughters, Trudy and Cindy and raised them in Pocatello.

In 1980, Warren and Beulah bought six acres of forest property at Lava Ranch just outside of Lava Hot Springs, ID.
