Allen was born on June 21,1971 in San Diego, California to parents Michael and Joanne Ensign. He was welcomed by his older sisters: Mikki, Ginger, and Kristene. When he was three years old, the family moved to Orcutt, California where he spent the remainder of his childhood. Here, Allen attended: Pine Grove Elementary School, Orcutt Junior High School, and finally Ernest Righetti High School, graduating in the year 1989. During his senior year, he was elected ASB Vice President. He also coined many nicknames during this time of his life, most notably “Butch”.

Following high school, he enlisted in the US Army. He spent time in Georgia, Germany and was a Gulf War Era veteran. After the Army, he met Amy Giambrone, a young romance that would reignite later in life. A few years later, he married his first wife Patricia, they were married for 11 years and had two children: Hailey Ensign (2001) and Jenna Ensign (2005). In 2007, Allen moved to Las Vegas with his family. Here, he started his career at Citibank. Over the next 16 years he built long lasting friendships while working as a Client Services Consultant as Assistant Vice President.

In 2010, his first wife and him parted ways, but a few years later in 2013 Amy Giambrone crossed paths with him again and they fell in love once more. They continued to love each other for 13 long and strong years all the way until the end. Allen didn’t just find a partner but became a beloved part of the family to Amy’s daughter, Samantha Kessler (Daniel Kessler) and became “Papa Allen” to Samantha’s 4 wonderful children: Bently, Daniel, Logen, and Skarlet.
