He received a B.S. from Tusculum College, a B.D. from Yale Divinity School, an S.T.M. from New York Theological Seminary along with a certificate in pastoral counseling from the New York Post Graduate Center of Mental Health, and a D.Min. from Columbia Theological Seminary. He was ordained a United Methodist Minister in 1969, serving as an assistant pastor at Stratford United Methodist Church in CT from 1969 - 1973, and a pastor of Newtown United Methodist Church in CT from 1973 -1977. In 1977, he received a commission in the Navy and served as a Navy Chaplain for 21 years providing ministry to various Navy, Coast Guard, and Marine Corp units and their families. His military commendations include Meritorious Service Medal (2 awards), Navy Commendation Medal (2 awards), Navy Achievement Medal, National Defense Medal, and Humanitarian Medal.

In 2007, Glenn and his wife moved to Bluffton, SC. He was elected and appointed as the national chaplain for the Military Officers Association of America for a 6-year term. During that time, Glenn also served on that organization's national board of directors. In 2015, he and his wife moved to Bermuda Village, a retirement community located in Bermuda Run, NC.
