Allen has a MS in Exercise Physiology from Auburn University and is a certified USAT Level I coach and pending USAC Level 3 coach.  While continuing to build out his exceptional performance service skill set, Allen is in the process of completing his Lactate Testing certification from Fact-Canada.  Complementing his extensive coaching background, Allen is a SICI-certified bicycle fit consultant having performed more than 300 bicycle fits to date.  His skills as a bicycle fit consultant are equaled as a bike mechanic.  If you need a new fit on your current rig or need mechanical work done on your ride, Allen is your trusted resource.
