About Us and Working With Us
Beginning in 1977, Thomas Allen, Inc. was launched by David Peterman, with a vision to expand the opportunities for persons with disabilities to live more independently in the community. A partnership began with James Perron becoming a co-owner in 1984, and Jesse Perron joining in 2017. In January 2023 the two original owners retired, and Jesse Perron and Kari Schuster became partners and co-owners.
