Allen West was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia in the same neighborhood where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once preached. He is the third of four generations of military servicemen in his family.

During his 22 year career in the United States Army, Lieutenant Colonel West served in several combat zones: in Operation Desert Storm, in Operation Iraqi Freedom, where he was a Battalion Commander in the Army’s 4th Infantry Division, and later in Afghanistan.

He received many honors including a Bronze Star, three Meritorious Service Medals, three Army Commendation Medals and a Valorous Unit Award.

In 1993 he was named the US Army ROTC Instructor of the Year.

After his retirement from the Army in 2004, Allen taught high school for a year before returning to Afghanistan as a civilian military adviser to the Afghan army, an assignment he finished in November 2007.

In November of 2010, Allen was honored to be able to continue his oath of service to his country when he was elected to the United States Congress, representing Florida’s 22nd District. As a member of the 112th Congress, he sat on the Small Business and Armed Services Committees.

In January of 2013, Allen joined PJ Media as Director of Next Generation Programming where he leads Next Generation TV, examining the issues of the day through the lens of the next generation, and encouraging all Americans to stand up for our nation’s collective future. Allen is also a Fox News contributor.

In 2013, the Allen West Foundation was established to encourage and support others in following a similar path of service and commitment to our nation and its constitutional principles. Separately, the Allen West Guardian Fund was established as a PAC to support conservative military veteran and minority Republicans running for state and federal office.
