After his mom managed to get a Super Nintendo for Christmas 1991, Allen never looked back. Games are where he found community, found friends, and was able to dive into worlds unknown for decades. The magic of a night spent with great friends around great games and great food is what he is hoping Continues can bring EVERY night to Alexandria.

Allen is a sitting board member of the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce, the Christopher Newport University Education Foundation, and Heard Alexandria. He is also a member of the National Chamber of Commerce Small Business Council. He has worked in startups, was a producer at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, ran a high school theater program, and was (briefly) a professional actor.

He has designed games, played games, and talked about games, a lot.

Favorite Game of ALL TIME:
The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
