Warren taught school for 2 years in Mexico, NY followed by 30 years at Fayetteville-Manlius as a biology and earth science teacher, later serving as chairman of the science department. For twenty years, he wrote science questions for the New York State Regents examinations. In 1976, he was recognized by the National Association of Biology Teachers as the outstanding biology teacher in New York State.
