Vernon was born on February 18, 1928, to Joseph and Jennie (Janssen) Tieszen in Chicago, Illinois. After graduating from Marion High School, Vernon attended National College of Chiropractic in Chicago, Illinois. Upon his graduation from college, he returned home and practiced with his father, uncles and later with his cousins in the Tieszen Chiropractic Clinic from 1950-1993.

He was a lifelong member of Emmanuel Presbyterian Church in Marion. Vernon was active in many organizations, including Commercial Club, Lions Club, a fireman and fire chief. He was a school board member, was a coach for Jr. Baseball, and was a long-time member of the Masons. Vernon loved being outdoors and loved nature. That love gave him a passion for yard work and many outdoor activities including hunting, fishing, boating and camping with his family and friends; he especially loved having a dog by his side. One of Vernon's favorite things was listening to a good story or joke from a friend or patient and then sharing that same story or joke with others. Some of these jokes he told over and over and over again. "Say, have you heard the one about............."
