Glenn started a banking career with First Citizens Bank in Fayetteville, and then worked with The Scottish Bank which later became First Union National Bank in which he retired after 40 plus years of service. After returning to his hometown of Fayetteville, Glenn worked part time as a consultant for First Capital Bank of Laurinburg until his full retirement in 2017.
