    John Allen is a versatile and dedicated professional with a background in project management and design, bringing over a decade of experience from the oil field industry. His career began as a Mechanical Designer, and over the years, he grew into a Facilities Project Manager, mastering logistics, organization, and problem-solving along the way. These skills, coupled with his passion for helping others, have made John a key player in the success of Franny’s Bartending, the mobile bartending service he co-owns with his wife, Fran.

    John’s journey into the hospitality industry was a natural evolution of his skills and his desire to support his wife’s business. When Fran started Franny’s Bartending in 2016, John took on a supportive role behind the scenes, helping with branding, marketing, and logistics while still holding down his full-time job in the oil industry. His creative talents in design helped shape the company’s brand, and his knack for systems and organization became the backbone of the business. Over time, as Franny’s Bartending grew, John decided to step in full-time, applying his project management expertise to ensure that every event ran smoothly and efficiently.

    While Fran is the face of the business, John is the quiet force behind the scenes, making sure all the details are handled and that everything works like a well-oiled machine. His passion for helping others extends beyond just his business endeavors—he’s driven by a desire to support, uplift, and find solutions, whether he’s assisting a client, a friend, or a family member. John’s influences range from the close-knit vendor friends he’s built relationships within the industry to icons like Michael Jordan, whose relentless work ethic and commitment to excellence inspire him to push himself and the business to new heights.

    But John’s talents aren’t limited to logistics and operations. He’s also creative at heart, currently working on a book series with plans to launch his own production and publishing company. Writing has always been a passion of his, and he dreams of creating a space where overlooked writers and storytellers can share their voices. Balancing his love for storytelling with his role in Franny’s Bartending, John is determined to make his mark in both the hospitality and publishing industries.

    In three years, John envisions himself as a published author and business owner, running both Franny’s Bartending and his publishing company. He’s committed to growing their bartending business, not just in size but in reputation, aiming to make Franny’s Bartending a top name in the event industry. He also hopes to create a platform for other creatives to share their work, believing that everyone deserves a chance to be heard.

    John’s favorite quote, "Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen" by Michael Jordan, is a reflection of his own mindset. He’s not one to sit on the sidelines—he’s always in the game, working behind the scenes to ensure success, not just for himself but for those around him. His dedication, humility, and hard work are the cornerstones of both his personal and professional life.
