Allen’s extensive career in water supply hydrogeology includes 10 years with the North Dakota State Water Commission, where he logged 50,000 ft of borehole per year while conducting community and county water resource exploration and delineation and wetlands water budgets. He is proud to have been a critical part of the exploration and mapping of North Dakota’s vast network of hidden lakes aquifer systems. Prior to joining Ground Water Science, he worked with Earth Data and LBG Inc. on wellhead protection and contaminant delineation projects throughout Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, and New England.

Today, Allen employs his considerable training and experience to solve a variety of challenges related to the delivery of public water supplies. He is an expert on the subjects of aquifer systems and water well design and construction. He is well-known by many municipal clients as an indispensable project manager in the construction of large-scale wellfields and ground water production facilities. He is a Certified Professional Geologist (CPG) by the American Institute of Professional Geologists and a Registered Professional Geologist in the states of Indiana and Pennsylvania.
