Waren was born in Swan River, Manitoba. His family lived in different northern areas of Manitoba, moving from Thompson to Lynn Lake, and then to The Pas. His family always spent their summers on his grandparents' mixed farm just north of Minitonas, in the Swan River valley. In the early 1980s, his family moved back to the farm permanently. His parents have moved off the farm and live in Minitonas.

Waren, his wife and two daughters, Jennifer and Melissa, live in Melville.
