He developed a strong work ethic at an early age, delivering newspapers, performing -many types of home repair and maintenance, auto mechanics, lawn landscaping and most of all, assisting in numerous facets of the family-owned TV and appliance business.

Glenn was a proud graduate of the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown’s School of Engineering with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. While a student, he was an officer of the American Society of Civil Engineers Society, and the cross-country running team. He also competed running the Johnstown Marathon and finishing in the top 25%.

After college, Glenn moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania beginning his career, where he subsequently settled later in life. Glenn became well-travelled through his occupation, moving to spearhead construction projects in Colorado, Indiana, Ohio, and the British territory of Bermuda working for various engineering firms where he contributed his knowledge to increasing levels of construction projects. He successfully built his career beginning in field construction, senior project engineer, general contractor, and rising to become a Director of Facilities Management. His engineering projects included railroad wheel plants, nuclear power plants, and a charter school building. He returned to Pittsburgh contributing as a project manager for a lead general contracting company during construction of the Pittsburgh International Airport and light rail transit system. His “all-in” and “perfectionist” personality propelled him to succeed in everything he pursued. As principal, Glenn started his own successful professional engineering consulting and contracting business remodeling, maintaining, and landscaping for homes and apartment buildings.

Glenn had wide interests and enjoyed many hobbies including playing sports, skiing, playing tennis and basketball, cars, motorcycles, running, biking, car mechanics, photography, analyzing company stocks, gardening, watching, and attending Pittsburgh sports teams.
