Dean Allen was born in Johannesburg, South Africa where he lived for 20 years before immigrating to the United States at the end of 1999. Having grown up in a family who owned their own business Dean saw first-hand how businesses could create real life change not only to those employed but moreover to the country served.
Dean earned a Bachelor of Business Administration from Baylor University. During this time, it became apparent that his passion for entrepreneurship and business was rivaled only by his passion for humanitarian relief.

While earning his master’s in theology he found himself on a mission trip to Sudan, where not only his heart broke for the suffering, but he was sanctioned to be executed, so began the life altering events that lead to the inception of Zontos LLC – the Hydrogen Water Company™. Zontos is the leader in the hydrogen water industry which is decorated by over 2,000 double blind studies and peer reviewed articles.
