After spending 12 years in the Music Industry as an audio engineer, product development manager, and all-around tech producer, Allen surrendered to full-time ministry in 1998. Twenty-six years later, after serving churches in 3 states and assisting churches in many others, he has returned to the church where he first heard the call. Allen spends as much time on the beautiful sands of Pensacola Beach as he can while leading and shepherding an outstanding team of volunteers between the ages of 15 and 80. He has been married to his Mississippi girl for 31 incredible years and has two grown sons.
