Michael Allen epitomizes integrity, hard work, dedication and professionalism in every area of his personal and professional life. Michael has spent his entire life in East Texas—dedicating himself to a successful work ethic since he started a lawn mowing service at the age of 14. That work ethic continued even after he moved to Tyler, Texas to attend college. Although he was a full-time student studying medical technology, he began working to develop his skills in sales by working various retail positions. He continued his growth in sales by spending 15 years in network marketing. Michael is a family man with a devotion to God, his beautiful wife of over 25 years, and three lovely daughters. He is active in his church, active supporting his daughters’ activities and still devote an extreme amount of commitment to his clients.
