Born Alan A. Armer in Los Angeles, California on July 7, 1922, he received a bachelor's degree in speech and drama from Stanford University and a master¹s in theatre arts from UCLA.

After college, Armer started his entertainment career at a radio station in San Jose where he worked as an announcer. After moving back to Los Angeles in search of a radio job, Armer began working at an advertising agency that specialized in television ads. In that role, Armer later wrote, acted in, directed, narrated and edited television commercials. From there, Armer and a relative by marriage Walter Grauman developed their own television show, "Lights, Camera, Action," which aired on the local NBC affiliate for three years. He later was hired by the station as a floor manager and then director. He later went on to Fox, where he wrote, produced and directed several television series, including "My Friend Flicka."

Armer later became executive producer for the award-winning Desilu production of "The Untouchables." He subsequently joined Quinn Martin Productions, where he produced "The Fugitive", for which he received an Emmy, "The Invaders" and the first year of "Cannon."

In 1980 he became a part-time faculty member at CSUN in Northridge, California, and eventually became a full-time meber of their staff. He retired from teaching in 1999, but has remained active through writing and consulting with screenwriters. In 2002 the 2nd edition of a technical manual he wrote (Writing the Screenplay: TV and Film) was released.
