Sieben was born in Hastings, Minnesota, and attended Hastings High School. He got a B.A. in business administration from Winona State College (now Winona State University) in 1965, and JD from the University of Minnesota Law School in 1968. He joined the law firms Grose, Von Holtum and Sieben (now SiebenCarey) until he was elected to the Minnesota House in 1970 as a member of the Liberal caucus in an official non-partisan legislature, and later as a Democrat when political parties were recognized in the legislature. Sieben served 14 years in the Legislature and became Chairman of the House between 1981 and 1984. In 1985 he rejoined the previous law firm.
In 1968, Sieben joined the United States Army Reserve, where he served seven years with the Military Intelligence Branch working as a Morse code interceptor and platoon leader. He subsequently received a direct commission in the Minnesota Air National Guard in April 1975. He served on the Judge's General Advisory Corps for the 133 Airlift Wing, 148th Fighter Wing and Minnesota National Air Guard Headquarters. In 1990, he was appointed a state judge who defended the Minnesota National Guard. In 1997 he was promoted to brigadier general and assistant general aide in the Minnesota Air National Guard, and later acted as a general aide to the State of Minnesota. He was promoted to major general in 2003. After retiring from the military, Sieben became a civilian assistant to the Army Secretary to Minnesota on October 27, 2006. [1]
