Allen graduated from Hiram College with a major in Environmental Studies. At Hiram College, Allen spent three months traveling around the world learning about biomes and teaching small classes. Allen also worked for the James H. Barrow field station caring for a collection of local and endangered wildlife for breeding and education purposes. He worked for ISLS teaching high school teachers to implement hands-on environmental education in local classrooms. After graduation, Allen started his own small business and ran that for nearly a decade.
