Warren was born on April 30, 1982 in Torrance, California. He moved to New Hampshire in 2003 and enlisted in the Army in October of 2004. He entered as a Special Forces Trainee and did his basic and advanced training at Fort Benning, Ga. He attended the John F.

In July of 2010, Warren deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom as a member of the Joint Special Operations Task Force-Afghanistan. This was his second deployment. 

Warren died in Tsagay, Afghanistan of injuries sustained when his military vehicle was attacked by insurgents with an improvised explosive device. He will forever be remembered by his friends at Amoskeag RFC.
