David was born in Dartford, Kent, U.K. to Mary and David Allie, 1952. His father was in the USAF and the family was transferred back to the United States. He attended many schools including Gwinn and graduated high school in Denver, Colorado. He joined the United States Air Force immediately after graduation and stayed in the service four years.

During the time David was in the USAF he discovered his talent for photography and attended school in Chicago. As with all artistic folks, he found it difficult to make a living and returned to Denver to work as a carpenter on dams and high rise buildings. It was here he found the necessity for more safety training and started to apply himself to designing and building miniature equipment for safety training. Since then his business has grown to service companies all over the States and many parts of the world.

Although David was well aware his father would " to meetings" and was a Mason, he never asked a question about the organization. However there came the day when the question was posed… do you become a Mason?

David was raised a Master Mason in Marquette, Michigan #101 March, 1992, made a 32nd Scottish Rite Mason and joined Ahmed Temple in a one-day ceremonial. He started in the divan in 2002 when he was appointed to Captain of the Guard by Potentate Ron Hill.

David married Charlene (Keller) on August 22, 1997, and this brought two families together, Terry and Michele and Megan and Matthew with their children.

David' hobbies are finding projects within the area that need to be completed by volunteers, such as fixing the bog-walk so children can see the many creatures living there. He has worked on the bike rides and other fund raisers. At home hobbies are gardening, photography and having fun with his youngest grandchild, Jake.
