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 would always return to his grandparents’ mixed farm for the summers. In the early 1980s, his parents moved the family back to the farm permanently. Waren’s parents still live on his great-grandfather’s original homestead near Minitonas, Manitoba.

Waren, his wife and two daughters have now made Melville, Saskatchewan their home.
