About Charles Allen
By day: I am a Senior Financial Analyst with a fortune 500 company. I also own a side business doing IT support and instillation for small businesses. I can assist in budgeting, financial planning, and reporting; Automating these processes, and IT / Physical security for your property.
My Philosophy in this area is this: I provide my clients with information to make informed decisions. A satisfied person will return to me for sound, trusted advice, and not things i can empower them to do themselves. I want to be a partner with my clients, not use them as an ATM.
By Night: I am..BATMAN! JK! I am a father, farmer, Tinkerer, homesteader. I spent 8 years as a Mechanic in the US Army where i learned how to make do with very little. This was a synergistic fit for the upbringing i had on my family's farm with my father who was also a military mechanic.
I learned a wide variety of trades from OTJ/Needs based learning: Electrical, Plumbing, Carpentry, Fabrication, welding, milling, layout and design, farming. I maintain a maintenance/tinkering shop on my property where i turn out everything from custom knives to full tractor overhauls and rebuilds.
My passions include alternative energy, mixing technology and simplicity, rainwater collection, and self sufficiency. I do find it funny that in today's world what used to be called "Farm-life" or "Making it on your own" is now considered "prepping".
