Allen grew up in Plano, Texas and came to Texas A&M Uni­ver­sity after grad­u­at­ing from Plano Senior High School in 2000.  At A&M, Allen was exposed to the true Gospel through his three Chris­t­ian room­mates.  In the spring of 2001, God changed Allen’s heart by bring­ing him to repen­tance and faith in Jesus Christ for the for­give­ness of his sins and a rec­on­ciled rela­tion­ship to God.  After earn­ing his BBA in Mar­ket­ing in 2004, he mar­ried his won­der­ful wife, Kendra.  They have one girl, Tay­lor Joy, and two boys, Beck­ett and Eas­ton.  Allen is cur­rently pur­su­ing his Mas­ter of Divin­ity degree from South­west­ern Sem­i­nary.  He loves spend­ing time with his fam­ily, min­is­ter­ing in the com­mu­nity, read­ing, and running.
