I’ve overseen how trades are executed\, ensured regulatory compliance\, and fought for transparency in financial markets. \nUnlike our current Congressman\, who won’t even hold town halls to listen to his constituents\, I believe accountability starts with showing up and listening to the problems of the citizens of Southwest Florida. \nI’m a Scouting America leader\, a proud Floridian\, and a dad to an amazing teenage son. My wife and I built our life here in Southwest Florida\, and\, like many families\, we’re concerned about rising costs\, political dysfunction\, and leaders more focused on headlines than results. \nLearn more about Allen. \n  \n  \nReturn to the FLVCS Calendar
