Warren hails from Missouri (home of the St. Louis Cardinals!) by way of Ohio and New Mexico. Warren’s career has been spent teaching music at the secondary school and college levels and he culminated his teaching as director of choirs at McClintock High School in Tempe.

He is currently in his second term with the music program at Tempe First UMC, having begun in 1977-1981 and returned in 1992 until the present. He finds great pleasure in his duties at Tempe First and finds it rewarding to make music in an atmosphere of love and friendship.

Warren and his wife Linda are parents of three children: Kirk, Shannon, and Patrick, and they have four grandchildren: Jake, Becks, Sophie, and Layla.
