Achen served as the camera man for the Warhawk football team for over twenty years, from the early 60's until 1984. Achen not only filmed home games, but was always willing to travel to away games. His game films were the central focus of the Warhawk Quarterback Club meetings, which contributed to the success of the organization. Achen photographs adorn many facilities at UW-Whitewater, including Perkins Stadium and Williams Center. In May of 2000 Achen was presented with a key to the city by the Whitewater Common Council, formally recognizing his contributions to the city. Achen, a 1941 graduate of UW-Whitewater, is a resident of Whitewater, Wisconsin.
