About Allen
A Commitment to Service
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.
