David Allen '79

I retired in May 2024, after a fulfilling 38-year career in the computer industry in which I had a blast writing operating system code, symmetric multiprocessor code, distributed networking code, leading development teams creating commercial SW products, leading development organizations, business operations teams, security teams, and more. At the time of my retirement, I led Corporate Quality for Dell Technologies. Along the journey I was granted 7 US and 3 European technology patents. The kids are all adults now, so I spend my time playing golf, playing bass guitar in multiple bands in the Boston area, visiting micro-breweries, working on classic cars & hot rods, doing projects around the house with my (also retired) wife Mindy, and serving on the Tabor Alumni Council as the Chair for the 1970s decade!
