Allan, a Virgo, was born in 1980 and grew up with his naval father and stay at home mother, traveling from place to place. His family started out in the Philippines and eventually made their way to the states. Allan has lived in Hawaii, Long Beach and for the majority of his life, San Diego. San Diego was the final stop for Allan's family and he called it home for 15 years. When Allan was growing up he was into music, break dancing and playing video games. Currently, Allan's hobbies are DJ'ing, playing video games and working with computers. His first experience with a computer was with a Commodore 64 and at the time Allan thought it was pretty cool that he could draw a ball or stick figure and make it move while the colors changed.

Allan really started getting into computers back when Windows 95 and AOL came out. His first thought was probably something like, "OMG 56k is so FAST!!" but little did he know where technology would be in the future and where it would be going. Allan knew he had a lot to learn about computers and, sadly to say, was the cause for a few viruses and several computer upgrades in the house. After graduating high school, Allan decided to go to school and work toward a career dealing with computers. A few years later, Allan made the decision to move from San Diego to Orange County and lucky for him, landed a job with D-Link.

Allan is still new to D-Link but is learning and adapting quickly. He is excited to be doing what he went to school for which is networking and working hands on with products and computers. Allan thinks that D-Link is a great place to learn, as he has already learned how to configure products from home networking, multimedia and the business class line. The work is definitely a challenge but Allan feels the knowledge he has acquired makes it worth it.
