From 1940-1942 he served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in southern California. There he met his future wife, Ruth Gerber, who was also serving a mission while Colen was on furlough from the U.S. Army where he served as a radar operator in southern California during World War II. Colen spent his early years farming in the Holbrook Valley and was also the Oneida County Clerk, Auditor and Recorder from November 1957 to January 1978. Colen and Ruth lived for nine years in Boise, Idaho where they both worked and retired. Colen was a noted speaker and historian but the role closest to his heart was that of Cowboy Poet.
