Born January 7, 1944 in Gettysburg, PA he was the son of the late Lawrence & Lula (Keller) Redding. Glenn was a graduate of Delone Catholic High School. He enlisted in the United States Air Force upon graduation from high school and served his country in Libya and at Kincheloe AFB in Michigan. Glenn had many professions from masonry to owning and operating his own residential contracting business. It was through this business that Glenn found his real passion in life, building Woodie cars. He worked at Woodie World for many years before starting his own car building business.
