John Allen

John Allen III, born on September 24th, 1996, to John Allen Jr. and Debra Wheeler-Allen. He was born and raised in the great city of Fort Pierce, FL, by his mother, Debra, nana, Lorraine, and an amazing village. He graduated from the prominent Lincoln Park Academy High School in 2014, and went on to graduate (cum laude) from the historic and distinguished Talladega College in 2019, with a B.A. in Business Administration.His passions include God, his family, basketball, his fraternity, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated, and writing (obviously). Considered extremely wise and humble for his age, he strives to inspire the youth in his community and around the world, and show them that there's more to life than what's seen on TV. "Of course I want to play basketball professionally, but I also want to show kids that there's more to life than sports. That sports and entertainment isn't the only way you can 'Make it', as people say. I try to tell kids that doctors, lawyers, engineers, architects, authors, scientists, GET PAID too. Kids only see and know what they're exposed to. I'm planning on inspiring and bringing out the greatness inside the next generation. Well, all generations, really."
