Hubert Allen and Associates is a small business that has been in operation for more than twenty years. It began in graduate school when I worked for half a dozen Johns Hopkins Researchers as a graduate student. I received my Masters of Science in Biostatistics in 1986. Using statistics, computers, local personnel, good old pencil and paper I has helped dozens of clients throughout the world and in our home state of New Mexico.

It was while living in Malawi, Africa (1986-1989) that I first needed some Associates for larger tasks. I well remember how challenging it was to enter demographic data for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees on 66,000 Mozambican refugees living in camps in Malawi. This was among the first electronic censuses in Africa. Hubert Allen then hired six Malawian Associates. I taught them basic computing skills as related to data entry and report writing. These were the very early days of the personal computer - to the Malawians this was nearly magical, and they knew enough to understand how valuable it would be to know how to use computers. Our group entered this data in a couple of months and it was useful to the United Nations response.

Living in Baltimore, Maryland (1989-1995) I traveled extensively to: Uganda, Malawi, Egypt, Oman, India to name a few countries. Typically, I provided technical assistance in simple data systems and personal computers, also basic statistical analysis. In 1995 I moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Our strengths are in designing data collections systems, quality data entry, useful summary tables, focus on key statistics. Types of clients thus far are federal, state and local governments, healthcare systems, hospitals, international aid organizations, and conservation groups, this is just our statistical consulting.

We also have been writing and publishing since 1980 when we began publishing scientific papers, professional books and only in 1998 expanded into popular publishing with the now classic, The Petroglyph Calendar: An Archaeoastronomy Adventure, about the author’s rediscovery of an ancient calendar carved in stone on near-by Sandia Mountain. This led me further into the field of ancient astronomy, or archaeoastronomy, and to a unique friendship with astronomer Gerald S. Hawkins.
