Borden met the love of his life, Deb Stephanson, while attending Wadena High School. After High School, they went to Thompson, where Borden was employed at the mine. From there, they moved to Calgary and from Calgary to B.C. While in B.C., Borden found his passion in life, framing houses. Shortly after, in 1972 Borden & Deb were married.
