​Matt Allen is Ripco Location Manager. He has lived in Montgomery County for 11 years. In his spare time, he coaches track at Southmont, is a radio on air personality for the Crawfordsville Radio Stations and follows his kids’ sporting events. He is married to his wife Shelley, and they have two children, Faith and Clay. Faith is a sophomore at Purdue Fort Wayne and runs in their cross country and track programs. Clay is a senior at Southmont and recently went to state in swimming. Matt learned how to dance 25 years ago in a bar where they offered a 1/2 hour group swing dance lesson for free every Monday night. He loves to swing dance, so his favorite music is anything he can swing to from big band to country. Matt chose to participate in the YSB fundraiser because he believes it’s important to give back to the community. This fundraiser gives him a chance to have fun while doing that. He says, “Everyone should come out and support Jessica and I as well as the rest of the dancers. This is a huge time commitment for all involved and we are doing it for the sole purpose of supporting young people in Montgomery County. They are the future. Give back to the community by coming out as we compete against some stiff competition in the fundraising event of the year.”
