Allen is the Market President and Commercial Banker at Old National Bank, where he has worked for 11 years. With over 25 years in the banking industry—most of it in Fort Wayne—he is deeply connected to the local community.

Allen has been married to Rachel for 25 years. Rachel has extensive experience in the healthcare industry and currently works for MKM Architecture and Design, focusing on healthcare, senior living, and quality-of-life projects. The couple grew up in Lafayette, IN, and began dating while attending Purdue University. They have two adult daughters, both Purdue graduates—one in biomedical engineering and the other in environmental health and safety.

Allen enjoys staying active, especially with outdoor activities, and loves bringing people together for shared experiences. In recent years, he has also developed a passion for reading, often discussing books with Rachel as they read together. He is dedicated to giving back to his community and has volunteered in leadership and hands-on roles with organizations like United Way of Allen County, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Junior Achievement, St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, Fortitude Fund, and his neighborhood HOA.

While Allen has no formal dance training, he has always admired his daughter's performances in show choir during high school and college. Old National Bank has been a longtime partner of Easterseals Northeast Indiana, and Allen has seen firsthand the incredible impact of their work in Fort Wayne, Kosciusko, and Steuben Counties. His admiration for Easterseals' mission made it an easy decision to step onto the dance floor for a great cause. He is thrilled to be paired with his dancing partner and hopes he can keep up—because this experience has already been unforgettable!

Nona has been a beloved part of our organization for years! In 2020, she made the move from Cardinal Services in Warsaw to our Fort Wayne location, bringing her sparkle and enthusiasm with her.

A Milford native, Nona is all about the glitz and glam—shopping, getting her hair and nails done, and dressing up are just a few of her favorite things! While she may not have any formal dance experience, she’s always ready to steal the spotlight with her infectious energy.

She’s a music lover through and through, knowing every word to the best hits from the ’60s and classic hymns, and she never misses a chance to sing along. In the summer, you’ll find her soaking up the fun at camp, sharing her signature joy with everyone around her.

Get ready to cheer Nona on as she takes the stage—she’s here to shine!
