He trained as a teacher and taught for 11 years at Sisler and Elmwood High Schools. He married Irene Koop and spent three years teaching in Binatang, Sarawak in Malaysia.

At the encouragement of his congregation, Allan entered the pastoral ministry and attended the Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary where he obtained a Master of Divinity.
