About Allen

Representing East China Township on the board of trustees since 2020, Allen has worked tirelessly to serve residents. He is a fierce advocate for open, honest, transparent government.

​

He has taken many courses with the Michigan Townships Association (MTA) and has focused on budget issues and devotedly reads board packets.

​

Allen works in the automotive industry and also at Menards (a hardware store) on the weekends where he enjoys talking to the many customers. As a veteran that served our country honorably in the United States Army Reserve in the Military Police Corps as well as Civil Affairs, he knows about putting service above himself.

​

He has a passion for the constitution and ensuring that our local government lives up to the standards enshrined within it to serve our community. He has a vast knowledge of the Open Meetings Act and Freedom of Information Act (a must for any elected official.)

​

No stranger to politics, Allen was first active in elective politics when he ran for school board fresh out of high school and was elected in 2010.

​

He is also a graduate of Marine City High School and also attained the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts in Troop 296.
