Allan Cole

Allan Cole was born in Mississippi to an unwed, teenage JSU student mother in 1967, signed over to the state of MS five days after his birth, then adopted in 1969 and raised by a newly-married couple in Meridian, MS. His parents made sure needs were met; instilled in him a foundation of Word and Worship; and encouraged education, discipline and excellence as the standard. His mother was an educator at Alcorn University and his father was a concrete finisher & plumber. They raised Allan to be a man of accountability and responsibility.

Mr. Cole served honorably as a US Paratrooper, which later led to a successful executive marketing career in Entertainment and Hospitality. Mr. Cole’s service and time working with Sony, BMG, Hilton and Hyatt embedded his heart for service, professionalism, and hospitality. He relocated back home equipped with lessons and real business experience.
