& all around fun guy!
Alan has worn many “hats” over his interesting and varied career. As a young man he worked in professional theater. Since then he has owned a small business, worked with non-profit organizations as executive director, was a commercial hot air balloon pilot, held key operations positions with retail food service corporations, and was a consultant in special education to federal and state agencies.
Alan has most recently added author to his list! He and artist and wife, Marylou Falstreau, created “It’s The Stories You Tell That Color Your Life”. This colorful, quirky inspirational book asks the reader to become more aware of the stories they tell. Stories of victimhood, fear, worry or . . . alternately gratitude, joy and forgiveness effect how we all live our lives. It is possible to choose stories that make us happy!
How Alan became The Crazy Ole Man.
Several years ago Alan was managing a food service team that was made up of mostly college students. He was their “Senior” advisor so to speak. Although he was older he was young at heart and loved working with these kids and they loved him.
He believed that he could create a work environment that was challenging and inspired personal growth, but could also be fun and joyful as well. Sometimes he would dance to the piped in music or make jokes with the customers, but he also expected the best from his employees and they always gave him their best. Soon they began calling him “The Crazy Ole Man” and before long his customers were using this fond nickname as well. His employees replaced his old nametag and gave him a new one with – you guessed it – “The Crazy Ole Man” printed on it. He has since moved on but the name has stuck. That is how he thinks of himself to this day.
