Andy Allen is a retired businessman from California. After getting his B.S. in Business Administration from Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, Andy obtained his C.P.A. license a few years later while working for Ernst & Young out of their Los Angeles and London offices. He spent most of the next 30 years working in the hospital services industry, including founding his own company in 2011, which he operated and grew to over 250 employees before his retirement in 2020. Andy feels blessed to have been a homeschool dad, the oldest of ten siblings and married forty years (and counting) to the love of his life Debbie. Three of their seven children have attended Wyoming Catholic College. Andy has been active in volunteer leadership positions in a number of community organizations over the years, including the Knights of Columbus, Newman Club and as past-president of his college’s alumni association. He is the co-founder of Central Coast Pilgrims, which promotes pilgrimage for those in his local community. He and his wife were blessed to participate on the Serra Route of the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage in 2024, and are on the organizational team for the 2025 California Eucharistic Pilgrimage which will culminate in Los Angeles on Corpus Christi weekend next June. Andy enjoys family time, camping, woodworking, genealogy and walking on the Camino de Santiago.
