Quincy was born at the family farm in rural Tappen (Westford Township) on April 18th, 1935. He was the son of Ira (Kid) and Hulda (Sonnenburg) Maw.

He attended the State School of Science in Wahpeton, and NDSU Fargo, graduating with a degree in mechanical engineering.
Quincy and Caroline were united in marriage on May 31st, 1959. They farmed small-scale organic grains and raised Rambouillet-cormo sheep, and at one point lambed out over 1000 ewes.
