Jonathan Allen - AT Pillar Constructor Off the Roll

Johnathan Allen was curious. He a was curious about his Dad's ACL surgery while Jonathan was in high school. How was he going to get back? Who was going to help him with his rehab? Would he be able to do what he did before? Johnathan was curious and this led him into a career in health care. After high school he had a cup of coffee in Bloomington, IN at Indiana University but after figuring out, like Larry Bird, that a big school is not for everyone he found his way to Ball State in the winter of 2001. He stayed for six years and made an impact on staff and students that were there with him. In looking for his first job he found an opportunity in Connersville, IN at Connersville HS that would be the future trend of all he has done up unto this point in his career. Build a program from the ground up. He spent 6 years at Connersville but his last was out of the AT room and in an office that was not his style. He decided to look outside the box again and apply for a Assistant Professor/Clinical Coordinator/Assistant AT at Union University in Jackson, TN With the help of a fellow BSU AT Alum he landed the job and he started building again. First the AT program at Union and then his own business Pillar Active Medicine. In his own business he has provided medical services amateur motocross, bull riding, and color guard and a more traditional role covering secondary schools when his schedule allows. Jonathan is currently completing is dissertation for a PhD in Philosophy from Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions. He and his wife Crystal and their 7 children reside in Jackson, TN
