Here is JIM'S bio;

I wish to thank you for including me in the "Weekly Parade Of Stars!", it is my honor to be thought of in such regard and with such fine company.

Raised is Middle Tennessee in the 70's.  Southern to bone,
opinionated, resolute, intelligent, moral, would vote Charlie
Daniels for president, southern rock and rockin' country music
lover, God fearing, sometimes hostile and a Redneck to boot.

Been wed twice and happily married once.  We produced a fine
young man that is my namesake.  Just too young and immature the
first time around.  The second time I found my soul mate, Pam.
Pam and I have been together 22 years well, 23 on this past
October 31st. 

I helped raise one and we made one together.  They both are fine young men as well.  for those interested I have some Family Pics Here from my inlaws recent visit with us in Florida.

I have made many mistakes and have had quite a few successes. My resume is quite long, my experiences many and my desire to share the knowledge is huge.  ALP's friend to everyone Mr. Nick Sym recently posted a Horoscope thread defining the many different personalities associated with our star signs.  I am a Gemini and he pegged me pretty good.  Your Stars (Nick)

My work experience is multi-faceted and 35 years in the making. I know how to make impressions on folks at first meeting and turning them into profitable relationships. 

In my early days, I received training from some of the best minds in direct sales and marketing.  The insurance business believes in Dale Carnege's teachings.  I am glad they did because that kind of training would cost you thousands of dollars today.  At that time my sales manager even taught us how to dress succefully even down to our socks.  Do you believe it?! 

Whether it be a potential employer or client.  I learned a long time ago it was easier to help folks spend their money wisely than to sell them something.  As you know there is a Big Difference and it can make a difference in your income level.  

As an in-home energy consultant, I help folks make decisions regarding their family'spersonal comfort.  As it relates to their indoor air quality and energy consumption of their home comfort systems. 

This has been quite rewarding and fulfilling for the Allen family. 

Especially here in this tropical Florida climate.  Folks really need assistance in knowing what choices are available to them.  Mold and fungi are a real issue here, with the elderly and folks with respirotory issues.  They really like reducing their carbon footprint and saving money too, on their home energy costs.  Plus they are more comfortable in their homes.

My online experience started in 1999, as a way to keep up with
my Dad and to assist my then 8 year old son Cody, with his
education.  We now have 3 computers in the house and a 15 mbps internet connection.  I must say that I have learned lots and still have a lot to learn. 

My life experience in sales and marketing along with nearly always being the new kid on the block most of my life. ( my father, was a Marine, {please remember a Veteran} so we moved around alot)  I do mean a lot too.  12 years of public schools education, i went to 22 different achools.  Seems I was always having to adapt to new surrounding and environments.  It did provide me with an invaluable education.  Which has helped me tremendously online and off.

I have been involved with many start ups, and Master Mind with gurus on a regular basis.  I participate with many forums and communities online and have several web properties.  Many of which I share in my ALP forum " Jim Allen's Everything is open for discussion  "  I invite all Adland Friends to visit and join adiscussion.  Or if you have a topic you would like a frank and open discussion, just start a new thread and post there often.  I will chime in too as I have an opinion on just about everything.  LOL

As someone that usually works in the background on many
projects, I am not used to being so honored and in the
spotlight. 

Thank you for including me in this "Weekly Parade Of Stars!".

Sincerely,

Jim Allen III
