Born in Durrnast, Germany on July 27, 1939 he was the son of the late Friedrich and Hilda (Weber) Niebel. Werner spent his early years in Germany where he received his early education and at the age of 19 traveled alone with a small suitcase of belongings to the United States for the start of a new adventure.
Werner received his college education in New York City and earned a diploma in Mechanical Engineering. He continued that profession until ultimately becoming a self employed consultant until his retirement.

In addition to his accomplishments with his profession he also was an avid soccer player when earlier in life he excelled to become a semi-professional soccer goalie.

Werner took that skill and passion to enjoy coaching the Bedford travel soccer team for several years.
